We regard the lack of slur as an oversight by the engraver of GE1, although it could have been added in FE at the last stage of proofreading. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

In FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), there are no slurs in the L.H., differently than in analogous bar 13. In GE3, a slur over the 1st half of the bar was added; it is difficult to say what the motivation of the reviser was for adding only one slur in this bar. In the main text, we preserve the notation of FE, since Chopin most probably considered the legato indication to be enough – cf. e.g. the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 1st mov., bar 139, in which the sempre legato indication replaced the slurs present in an analogous place. On the other hand, it cannot be excluded that legato was added as an easier way of correcting the accidentally overlooked slurs – in the entire theme (bars 54-62), Chopin provides the accompaniment with slurs already from the next bar (except for bar 58). Due to this reason, we suggest adding slurs in the discussed bar as an alternative solution. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Legato & slurs |

Change of slurring in GE3 is a typical example of a routine revision – a separate slur for the 2nd beat of the bar resembles rather bowing than a pianistic gesture. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

Like in analogous bar 17, in the main text we suggest a whole-bar slur in the part of the L.H. Such a slur was added in GE3, whereas in EE, each half of the bar was embraced with a separate slur, perhaps due to the lack of space. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

It is unknown how the difference in the range of the slur occurred. According to us, it is an inaccuracy of the engraver of GE that is most likely. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |
