Slur in A1

2 slurs, our alternative suggestion

2 slurs in FE

Slur in GE1, literal reading

Slur in #E1, contextual interpretation

Slur in EE

No slurs in GE2

The slurring of A1 in b. 3-5, of which the discussed bars are a repetition, is incomplete and inaccurate. In the proof copy of FE1 (→EE) it was reproduced in a distorted form, which was proofread by Chopin in the finished FE (there are grounds to consider the ending of the slur added during that proofreading to be inaccurate). The beginning of the slur in GE1 is also almost certainly inaccurate. In the main text we give the latter including a correction resulting from the analysis of all source versions of the notation. The missing slur in GE2 must be a mistake of the engraver: see the previous note on slurs.
