The range of the four subsequent slurs in the L.H. in A may be problematic at the time of interpreting them – the lines are written with a flourish and they overlap with the 
and 
hairpins. The first slur is particularly inaccurate; in this case, it is both the beginning and ending that are questionable. However, a comparison of all four slurs allows us to state that the slurs always run from the d
1 minim to the beginning of the next bar and this is the form in which we give them in the main text. The whole-bar slurs of the editions, although incompliant with A, could have been accepted by Chopin, since if we consider the authentic rhythmic values, accents and pedalling, the slurs can influence the performance to a minor extent. Similarly in bars 437-438.
