In CB the half-bar L.H. quaver figures are provided with slurs in the whole piece except for b. 16, 20 and 63, in which the slurs encompass entire bars. It is one of a few serious revisions performed by Balakirev, in this case musically justified but not necessary and contrary to the Chopinesque practices – cf., e.g. the authentic L.H. slurring in the Nocturne in D
Major, Op. 27 No. 2. Due to the fact that the slurs are also present in other sources, we discuss b. 7, 17 and 20 separately.
