b. 472-475
The issue whether the slurs at the transition between bars 472 and 473 and 474 and 475 are to be divided or combined is not clear in A, partially due to the corrections of both slurs and notes. A comparison with analogous figures in bars 476-480 suggests that the slurs having been reproduced by the editions as one-bar ones may correspond to Chopin's intention. However, the notation in bars 474-475 clearly suggests using a two-bar slur; such a possibility is not excluded by the notation of the two previous bars. Taking this into account, we suggest two interpretations of the discussed slurs.
