The division of the slur into 3 parts – contrary to the unmistakable notation of A – is an example of a characteristic manner of the engraver of GE1, who avoided long slurs. GE2 restored the notation of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

According to us, a new slur starts in bar 229 in A, although the previous one ends very close to its beginning. However, the combined slurs in GE (→FE→EE) are not a result of an inaccurate interpretation of A, but of proofreading, probably a Chopin one. Nevertheless, the visible traces of corrections suggest that the composer corrected other, erroneous slurs, and not the version of A. Due to this reason, in the main text we give a musically unquestionable division of the slur written in A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

Shortening of the slur in GE1 is certainly an inaccuracy stemming from the transition into a new line. The inaccuracy was corrected both in FE (→EE) and in GE2. In the case of FE, Chopin's proofreading cannot be ruled out. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

In GE1, the slur in bar 236, at the end of the line, indicates continuation, which, however, is not confirmed by the slur in bar 237. This ambiguous notation was interpreted contrary to the notation of A both in FE (→EE) and GE2. It is worth observing that the compliance of the slur of GE1 in bar 236 with A is a result of intense proofreading – originally, the entire line (bars 232-236) was provided with one-bar slurs. At the same time, the traces of the changes in bars 235-236 became so visible over time that GE1a was reengraved in this place. The oversight of the dashes marking the range of validity of the octave sign at the end of bar 236 was a side effect of this retouch. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors resulting from corrections , GE revisions , FE revisions , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

Starting the slur already from the 1st crotchet in GE1 (→FE→EE) is a typical inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |
