The missing slur over the top voice must be a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE). However, it may not be a common oversight, but an atypical example of a transfer of sign: a slur was printed under the notes instead of over them, although of the same range, which gave it a form of a tie of f1 (the engraver could have been encouraged to perform such a change by, e.g. lack of space under the notes). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

This is the last bar on a page in A, which contributes to the uncertainty concerning the range of the slur started on the 2nd beat of the bar – the overpulled ending of the slur suggests continuation in the next bar; however, on a new page, in bar 346, there are no slurs. In GE (→FE→EE), the slur was led to the 1st chord in bar 346, which is almost certainly an accurate interpretation – cf. the slurring of the part of violin I in Morch as well as analogous bars 21-22. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

The absence of slurs must be an oversight – Chopin forgot to write slurs after passing to a new page in A. These are the most frequent mistakes committed in the Chopinesque manuscripts. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest slurs drawn from the part of violin I in Morch, in accordance with the authentic slurring of analogous bars 22-23. The slurs of EE are almost certainly inauthentic, whereas the slur in bar 22 – certainly erroneous. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions |

Same as in all previous similar bars, we consider the missing slurs in the L.H. in bars 349-351 to be an inaccuracy of the notation of A (→GE→FE), resulting from an increasing haste. Due to this reason, we add slurs after bars 1-3 and 25-27. In EE, in all four bars, arbitrary double slurs for each pair of dyads were introduced. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions |

In the main text we give an extended slur – probably by Chopin together with adding the d2 note at the beginning of the bar – in the proofreading of FE (→EE). In turn, we omit the triplet slur added in GE (→FE→EE) – cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , Triplet slurs |
