New slur from 1st quaver in AI

Continuous slur in AF (→FEEE)

New slur from 2nd quaver in GE

Overlapping slurs suggested by the editors

In AF one can see a correction of slurring in this place – the slurs, initially separated by a bar line (like in AI), were then combined. According to us, hesitation about the range of these slurs, visible in this and analogous places (b. 8-9), does not allow us to consider this correction to be final, since Chopin corrected only one of the versions of the divided slurs. In addition, in b. 8-9 the same slurring was probably corrected by Chopin in a different manner, although actually resulting in the same effect. Taking into account the above, in the main text we give the version that was corrected later. The versions of FE and GE may be considered equal variants.
