In these bars, the slurs of A are shorter than before, yet they still begin on the 2nd beat of the bar, which was not repeated in the editions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

It is difficult to assume that Chopin actually wanted to end the slur before the 2nd beat in bar 466. The slur is probably unfinished, perhaps to avoid the crossing with the octave sign. The slur of GE (→FE), led further, was most probably corrected, probably by the very Chopin, which confirms our assumptions that the slur of A is inaccurate. In EE, each of these bars is encompassed with a separate slur, which can be explained by an inaccurate interpretation of FE or a revision, e.g. by analogy to bars 425-426. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccurate slurs in A , Authentic corrections of GE , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

..
The ending of the slur beginning in bar 449 is inaccurate in A, which is confirmed by, among others, the comparison with the next, identical figure (see also bars 409-419). GE1 (→FE→EE) convey the literal interpretation of this slur, yet the contextual interpretation, adopted by us to the main text, was included in GE2. The division of the next slur in bar 450 is an arbitrary action of GE1 (→FE) – in spite of the transition to a new page, the notation of A is unambiguous. In EE, the extension of the first of the two slurs, created as a result of this division, mitigated the consequences of the mistake of GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |

GE1 (→FE) include two whole-bar slurs in bars 451-452, which is a typical distortion of the slurring of A. However, since an ending of the slur was printed at the beginning of bar 453 (in a new line), we assume that the slur from bar 452 reaches – in accordance with A – the 1st crotchet in bar 453. This is how it was reproduced in EE. In GE2 an arbitrary division of the slur before the 2nd beat in bar 452 was applied, same as in all the remaining analogous bars. In the main text we give the slur of A, the only undoubtedly authentic one. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The whole-bar slurs in the L.H. in bars 453-454 and 461-462 is a typical inaccuracy of GE1 (→FE→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |
