Both in bar 246 and bar 250 the slur in A reaches almost the end of the bar, which we interpret as a slur-tenuto and we keep it in the main text. In GE (→FE→EE) the slurs end in a conventional manner, reaching only the minim on the 2nd beat of the bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Tenuto slurs |

The slur in GE1 is written ambiguously – the slur at the end of the line of the text (bar 251) suggests continuation, yet in bar 252 the slur runs from the 1st note. The notation of FE (→EE) proves that, without seeing A, the notation of GE1 was interpreted as two separate slurs. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

In A, Chopin embraced this pair of bars with one slur, which he then clearly divided into two, in accordance with the slurring of similar pairs of bars in the three remaining fragments of this movement of the Concerto, built upon similar phrases (bars 177-182, 353-364 and 494-499). The fact that the division was not included in GE (→FE→EE) can be most probably explained by an arbitrary decision of the engraver of GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Authentic corrections of GE , Triplet slurs |

In the main text we give the unquestionable two-bar long slurs of A. Both the division of the slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE) and their combination in GE2 must be arbitrary changes – a typical manner of the engraver of GE1 and a revision (without any apparent reason) of GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

The slur visible in A under the quaver triplet in bars 293 and 297 was most probably overlooked both in GE1 and in GE2 (it is understandable in bar 293, in which the slur blends into the sign). We do not convey these slurs in the main text, since they seem to be triplet slurs, which we generally do not include (General Editorial Principles, p. 16), and which could have been left in A by accident. However, it is not a typical situation, hence it cannot be excluded that Chopin indeed envisaged double slurs in this place. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Triplet slurs |
