No slur in A (→FC,FEEE)

Slur in GE

..

The slur written in A over the R.H. motif was deleted together with the original version of the agogic indication. A comparison with analogous b. 767 and 769 (as well as 759 and 763) proves that leaving this bar without slur is Chopin's mistake. The slur was added only in GE.

b. 780

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

In A one can see that Chopin deleted all notes after the bar had already been written and rewrote them next to the deletion. It is difficult to say what the reason for that correction was, since the deleted text seems to be identical to the rewritten one; the only doubt is the direction of the stem of the L.H. grace note chord (it could have been pointing downwards) and the top note of that chord (a1?).
