  b. 84-103

2 slurs in A1 & GE

Continuous slur in FE

Slur in bar 103 in EE

The version of EE, featuring a slur in b. 103 only, most probably corresponds to the notation of the proof copy of FE, in which the engraver overlooked the slurs over the non-written-out fragment in A1 (b. 84-102). In turn, the continuous slur over all that section present in the finished FE results from proofreading, most probably Chopinesque. In the main text we give two slurs: in b. 84-87 and 87-103, featured both in A1 (interpreted correctly) and GE, since the version of FE, although the latest, was not a change of the thought-out phrasing of A1 and [A2], but an ad hoc correction of a serious mistake.
