Continuous slur in FE |

Slur from f1 in bar 57 in GE1 |

Probable slurs in [A2], our alternative suggestion |

Slur from d1 in bar 57 in EE |

Slur to e2 in bar 55 in GE2 |
Except for the versions of GE1, GE2 and EE, which are clearly erroneous and which overlooked some of the curved lines, there are most probably three authentic versions of slurring for these bars: A1, [A2] and FE, proofread by Chopin. We do not know [A2] directly, yet one may closely reconstruct it on the basis of GE1 and the remaining authentic versions: since there are no notes that would not be encompassed with a slur in A1 and FE, it was most probably also the case of [A2], which means that the continuation of the slur from b. 53-54 overlooked in GE1 led to the first crotchet in b. 57. This version may be considered an equal variant with respect to the main text, which we hold for the version of FE, the latest of the three authentic ones, introduced probably instead of the version of A1 (perhaps incomplete, which may be indicated by the text of EE).
