B. 336, 344, 351 & 355 with 3 crotchets in the L.H. part and their counterparts in the repetition of that section are most probably inaccurately written in A. Only four out of eight are provided with slurs encompassing the 2nd and 3rd crotchets (in b. 338-339, which are similarly structured, the slurs are written there each time); moreover, it seems unlikely that such pianistically similar accompanying figures were to be performed differently. Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding slurs in the places where Chopin did not write them, i.e. b. 336, 344, 351 & 446.
The staccato dot in b. 351 in FE (→EE) must be a mistake.
