Slurs

..
The shorter slur in Atut (→FE→GE1→GE2) is the original marking. Initially, both slurs in the previous figure also encompassed the groups of three quavers only; however, they were then prolonged by Chopin. The slur in the L.H. in the discussed bars, written last, already encompasses the entire four-note motif. The fact of leaving the slur in the R.H. without extension must be the composer's inadvertence. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Corrections in A , GE revisions , Omitted correction of an analogous place |

..
Like in the case of portato dots, the majority of the editions overlooked an authentic slur, most probably due to a mistake of the engraver of FE. In GE3, a slur was added in bar 57 after an analogous slur in bar 55 as well as a parallel slur in the L.H. part. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , GE revisions |

The slur in Atut reaches the E1-E octave and it was extended to that end. However, after having written the 1st half of bar 61, Chopin deleted the octave to change the manner of notation of the R.H. part. The discussed slur was not crossed, but in rewritten bar 61, the ending of the slur was not repeated, which explains its shorter range in the editions. A separate slur for the top notes of the octaves added in EE must be an editorial revision. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Corrections in A , Errors resulting from corrections |

It is difficult to say what the reason for a later beginning of the slur in EE was. In turn, an earlier beginning in GE may be related to an inaccurately placed slur in FE, slightly too early, and to a comparison with analogous bar 69. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE |

..
The original slurring of Atut was changed by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→GE,EE); traces of changes performed in print are clearly visible. There is a similar situation in analogous bars 82-83. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |
