No slur in GE3 |

Slur suggested by the editors |
It is difficult to assume that Chopin would have liked to embrace with a slur only one triplet in this bar. The notation of [A] was most probably unclear (e.g. due to crossings-out) or a misunderstanding occurred at the time of proofreading. The slur of GE1 (→GE2) is most probably an erroneously shifted slur of FE, while its omission in GE3 was probably meant to eliminate the clearly erroneous mark. According to us, the presence of the slur in FE proves that Chopin did not intend to introduce subtler articulation effects; therefore, in the main text we prolong the slur of FE so that it encompasses the entire passage. An additional argument supporting the validity of such a solution are numerous examples of prolonged slurs in the proofreading of FE, e.g. in bar 493 or 496.
