Slur in A1 & GE

2 slurs in FE (→EE)
..

Two slurs in FE (→EE) may be explained by an unfinished (or simplified) correction, in which the top slur was added – perhaps by Chopin – as an amendment of the bottom one, moved by the engraver to the side of the noteheads (cf. b. 79-80, in which the same slur written above the stave in A1 was reproduced under the notes). In the main text we give the unequivocal notation of A1 and GE.
