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 |

The absence of the slur in A is probably Chopin's oversight. The bar is the first one on a new page, and the notation reveals distraction, probably following from haste – there is also no staccato dot under G category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

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 |

Chopin wrote only triplet slurs in these bars. A comparison with the previous phrase suggests that it is an inaccuracy, perhaps following from the smorz. and rallent. indications, impeding writing the slurs. Therefore, in the main text we suggest slurs analogous to bars 257-258. The slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE) – the two-bar slur and the distorted triplet one in bar 259 – are probably a result of a revision and inaccuracy respectively (GE2 overlooked the slur in bar 259). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Authentic corrections of GE |
