2 slurs in sources

1 slur – our alternative suggestion

In FE, one can see traces of proofreading of the slurs in bars 501-503 – originally, each of those bars was encompassed with a separate slur. If we take into account that Chopin combined also the slurs over bars 496-497, one can ponder whether leaving a musically unjustified division of the slur between bars 500-501 was intentional. It is likely that the proofreading was supposed to concern this place too, yet it was inaccurately implemented.
