In such a quasi-parallel figuration, the slurs in the R.H. generally apply also to the L.H., particularly when both parts are written, partially or completely, on one stave. Therefore, the source notation without separate slurs for the L.H. may be considered to be complete. However, at the repetition of this fragment (bars 299-302), Chopin provided with slurs also the L.H., which, according to us, indicates rather the need to specify the notation than to differentiate between the markings of both four-bar fragments. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest adding slurs of the L.H. Slurs were introduced already in GE3.
