The absence of the slur over (under) the triplet in bar 170 is certainly Chopin's oversight, who overlooked the entire marking of the triplet – digit and slur. In the main text we add both. In GE1 (→FE) the two-note slur of A was replaced with a longer one, embracing the entire motif. It seems to be likely that it is Chopin's proofreading, although one can have doubts whether a possible entry of the composer in the proof copy was reproduced correctly: Chopin could have been thinking of a shorter slur, like in GE2. The version of EE is certainly arbitrary. We give a more detailed analysis of the slurs of both hands in these and analogous bars in bars 171-172. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of GE |

In the main text we reproduce precisely the notation of A, since there is no visible attempt to combine the slur started over the d2 semiquaver – added probably later – with the slur over the triplet. The absence of the first slur in GE1 (→FE→EE) is probably an inaccuracy – the engraver could have not been certain how to reproduce this slur. GE2 repeated here the slur that is present in GE (→FE) in bars 169-170. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

In the main text we give the slur added – probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of GE (→FE). A Chopin proofreading seems to be likely in this case, since in the entire phrase (bars 168-176), in spite of a few inaccuracies, Chopin marked with dots and slurs the parts of both hands; moreover, one can assume his participation in adding slurs in the L.H. in GE1 also in adjacent bars (bars 169-170 and analog.). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |
