Continuous slur in sources

2 slurs suggested by the editors
..

A continuous slur in the L.H. in the 2nd half of this bar was most probably added in a proofreading of FE, replacing the slur encompassing the last 4 semiquavers. However, Chopin could have added a slur from the B note in the middle of the bar to the d2 note before the semiquaver rest, and the engraver considered it an extension of the already printed slur. Due to this reason, although the source slur can correspond to Chopin's intention, it seems quite likely that the composer meant here two slurs separated with a rest, like in analogous bar 106.

In FES, there is a fingering digit ('1') written by the pupil's hand over the 7th semiquaver. It must be a mistake, since such a fingering is contrary to the digits written there by Chopin – see bars 106-108. Cf. the comment on bar 116.

The pedalling of the majority of the sources must be erroneous – the pedal must be changed in the middle of the bar, together with the change of chord (cf. bar 106). See also the note on the  marking.

The mistake in the pedalling markings in the middle of this bar does not have to mean that the last  was also placed by mistake. Although another inaccuracy cannot be excluded, the difference with respect to bar 106 could have been purposeful. Therefore, in the main text we leave the version of the majority of the sources.
