In FE (→EE), leading the slur until the f2 semiquaver, from which, at the same time, a new slur begins, is probably an inaccuracy – Chopin did not encompass the entire phrase with one slur, as he did two bars later, hence it is difficult to asume that he would have wanted to obliterate a natural division of the phrase, marked by a temporary interruption of the semiquaver movement. Therefore, in the main text we include the shortening of the slur introduced in GE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

It is uncertain whether the slur of FE accurately conveys the notation of [A], so it cannot be excluded that it is the slur of GE and EE, compliant with the R.H. slur, that corresponds to it. In the main text, however, we leave the version of FE, since by the repetition of this phrase (bar 42), the slur also begins from the 4th quaver of the bar. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Editorial revisions |

In the main text, we preserve the source slur, in spite of the fact that its starting point may be considered inaccurate – see bar 40. We suggest a version modelled after an alternative interpretation of the slur in bar 40 as an acceptable variant of slurring. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Editorial revisions |

b. 44-49

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major
..
In bars 44, 46 and 48-49, each of the semiquaver groups separated with beams (or ended with a quaver) is provided in the sources with a slur that begins either from the second or the first note, which is significantly less frequent. The differences are definitely of a random nature; we consider the slurs running from the 1st note to be corresponding to Chopin's intention, since they are more natural in terms of both musical and pianistic issues. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |
