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). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE |

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. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE |

The main text – the slur to the 1st quaver in b. 65 – is the version of GE (based on [A2]) and FE2, most probably proofread by Chopin. The remaining variants result from various possibilities of interpretation of the inaccurate ending of the slur of A1 in b. 8-9: the discussed bars are their non-written-out repetition in that manuscript. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

In A1, just like in b. 11-13, of which the discussed bars are a repetition, there is no mark, whereas the range of the hairpin is unclear. In FE (→EE) it was reproduced on the basis of the range of the top arm; however, according to us, it is the bottom arm that should be considered reliable, which results in a range equivalent to the version of GE. The absence of the mark in EE means that it was added by Chopin in the last phase of proofreading of FE. In the main text we give the version of GE, in which both marks most probably reflect the notation of [A2]. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Scope of dynamic hairpins , Authentic corrections of FE |
