The division of the clear slur of A into 3 parts is an example of a far-reaching carelessness showed towards the Chopinesque slurring in GE1. In turn, it is unclear whether the combination of the first two of these slurs in FE (→EE) is a result of a mere inaccuracy or of a conscious decision of the engraver. GE2 includes the same slurs, which was undoubtedly done on purpose in this case – the slurring was introduced in all analogous places. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In A bar 420 is the last one on the page, whereas the slur written with a flourish clearly indicates continuation in the next bar. However, there is no ending of this slur in bar 421, which could have reassured the engraver of GE1 of his whole-bar approach (moreover, the traces of corrections visible in bars 420 and 421 suggest that each of these bars was initially encompassed with one slur; the erroneous division of the slur at the beginning of bar 421 was then corrected – perhaps by Chopin – to the version compliant with A). In GE2, Chopin's intention contained in A was reproduced correctly. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

The part of the slur falling on bar 424, the first one in a new line, was overlooked in FE. This patent deficiency was completed in EE by adding a separate slur in this bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE |

The engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE) may have considered the double slurs to be an unnecessary complication. Cf. bars 472-480. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

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
