Breaking the slur between these bars is a characteristic inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1 (after all, the two-bar slur in bars 125-126 is already a result of proofreading – the remaining elements of original slurs show that each of these bars was most probably embraced with a separate slur). The continuous, four-bar slur written in A was restored in GE2.

Ending the slur before the last note of this passage in unison is certainly an inaccuracy. Both changes to which the slur of A was subject in GE1 are deformations typical of the engraver of this edition – dividing a long slur and adjusting it to metric structures. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

In the entire section, Chopin wrote only one slur in the part of the L.H. in A, in bar 146. The fact that he then resigned from repeating the slurs written in the R.H. is proved by the notation of bar 160, opening a new page in A: in the part of the L.H. one can see there a deletion of a slur reaching the a category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

Combining the slur beginning in bar 146 with the next one is a patent mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE). It is one of many examples of flagrant ignorance of the notation of A, since the slurs in the manuscript are unambiguous. The correct slurs were restored in GE2. In FE (→EE), the mistake of GE1 was complemented with an inaccurate beginning of the slur in bar 146, which, next to the oversight of a staccato sign in this bar, completely distorted the vision of phrasing of the beginning of this bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In the main text we include only the slur written by Chopin in A – see bars 145-160. The versions of GE1 and FE are most probably erroneous, whereas the ones of EE and GE2 – arbitrary. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |
