The slurs combining the bass octaves at the transition between b. 78 and 79 are marked inaccurately in FE – in b. 78, which closes the page, there is only the slur that runs from d
, whereas in b. 79 there are 2 slurs on the bottom stave, reaching c and C. Therefore, it is highly likely that, like the motifs in b. 77 and 81, Chopin marked the discussed pair with two slurs between the parts of both hands. In the main text we move these slurs outside the text, which seems to be clearer. EE and GE2 (→GE3) also considered that Chopin's notation required a change – a slur was added between the topmost notes of the octaves, on the top stave.
