legato suggested by the editors

By the end of b. 6 both sources based on [A2] – CJ and CK – convey an abbreviation of an indication, which, taking into account the context, we decipher as legato. (IJ features agit., which must be a mistake, yet it confirms that the Chopinesque entry in [A2] was probably indistinct.) In EL the generally uncommon abbreviation leg. was replaced by legg., which must be a mistake. In the main text we move this indication, referring to the accompaniment figures that are not encompassed with slurs, to the beginning of the bar, where first such figures appear.
