In GE3, slurs in the L.H. were added in this fragment, most probably under the influence of analogous bars 440-444. It could be considered justified, if not for the fact that the range of the slurs was adjusted to the slurs in the R.H. not in an authentic version, but in an arbitrarily changed one – cf. a corresponding note to bars 417-424. Moreover, Chopin probably consciously rejected slurs in the L.H. in the discussed bars. It is proved by the traces of removal of the slur in the L.H. in bar 418 visible in FE; it was probably in [A] that the slurs in this section were so fragmentary that the composer preferred removing the inaccurate and misleading slurs rather than correcting them, given that the correct phrasing is indicated by the slurs in the R.H.
