The continuous slur in FE (→EE) stems from the corrections in A, as a result of which the slur from b. 715, leading to the final, crossed-out fragment of the line, seems to suggest continuation. The situation misled also the copyist, who led that slur in FC to the next bar (which does not take place in A). Consequently, the slurs converged on the grace note, which the engraver of GE1 interpreted as one slur. This unanimity of the editors is startling if we take into account the fact that in the manuscripts the slur that starts in b. 715 is led under the notes, whereas the next one – over the notes, and nothing suggests that they should be merged. In the main text in b. 715 we give a literal interpretation of the slur of A, which does not reach the next bar, whereas in b. 716 – the slur of FC, compliant with the more accurate, according to us, slur of the manuscripts in b. 720. The issue of range of the slur over b. 716 – see b. 718-719. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Errors resulting from corrections , Deletions in A |

In A one can see that Chopin initially wrote sempre piu stretto as an agogic indication for this eight-bar section (over the top stave). According to us, cresc. between the staves was written at the same time, which is indicated by the fact that both indications begin at the same moment of the bar. Chopin then decided to merge both indications by deleting sempre piu stretto above and adding stretto e before cresc. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |
