The later start of the slur could have been introduced by Chopin in the proofreading of GE1 (→FE→EE) – cf. other motifs of this theme with identical rhythm, e.g. in bars 3 and 25. However, in the main text we start the slur from the 1st note of the bar, in accordance with A, since the authenticity of the version of GE1 is uncertain. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

..
In bars 4, 12 and 28 there are no slurs in the part of the L.H. in A. These are the same bars in which pedalling signs are missing. While writing the fourth, last bar of the accompaniment based on alternating use of two schemes, Chopin could have already been thinking about the next bar, structured differently. In GE1 (→FE) slurs were added in bars 12 and 28, in both cases repeating a slur used two bars earlier (in particular in bar 12 the erroneous slur from bar 10 was repeated). According to us, it indicates an action of the reviser. In EE and GE2 a slur was added also in bar 4, whereas in GE2 the slur in bar 12 was corrected. We give the last version in the main text, since the absence of slurs in the discussed bars must be an inaccuracy of notation. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

In A, starting the slur from bar 17 is most probably an inaccuracy, being a result of the transition to a new page. It was corrected in GE (→FE→EE); the traces of correction in print are clearly visible. At the same time, one can see that the slur in GE1 originally encompassed bars 17-19, which was changed to a slurring that was not only compliant with A, but also correcting the inaccuracy of the manuscript. In this case, the authenticity of this correction is unquestionable. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of GE , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

The range of the slurs of the R.H. in A is beyond doubt, although none of them transcends the bar line (cf. the slurs in the L.H., written more accurately). The slurs of GE1 surprise with their inaccuracy, and the ones of FE (→EE) even more. The notation of A was interpreted correctly only in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Errors repeated in EE |
