Slurs in GE and EE are certainly imprecise. This may have resulted from unclear notation of slurs in Fontana’s copies serving as the basis for these editions (where e.g. b. 7 was the last in the first line of the text. However, the way slurs are noted in A leaves no room for doubt as for Chopin’s intention in this place.

No slur in GE1 (→GE2GE3) in b. 15 may be most certainly recognised as an error made by the copyist or engraver.

b. 20

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

AFC3 (→FEIE)

..

In GE the slur begins as late as on the second beat of the bar. This is an inaccuracy, which results most probably from unclear notation of slurs in the Fontana copy serving as the basis for this edition (in FC3 b. 20 is the first bar of the system, it is posssible [KF1] had a similar structure). In the main text we adopt notation of A as it raises no doubts.

b. 25

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

AFC3 (→FEIE), GE

..

In the second half of the bar all sources except EE have a crotchet and quaver e in L.H. In EE there is a dotted crotched (and no quaver), which most probably is an editorial revision of the error made by the copyist who omitted the quaver.

AFC3 (→FEIE), EEGE4

GE1 (→GE2GE3)

..

The slur beginning on the second beat of b. 28 in GE1 (→GE2GE3) is most certainly inaccurate. It may have resulted from unclear marking of slurs in [FC1] which was the basis for these edtitions (e.g. when b. 27 was the last bar in the last but one line of text). The notation of slurs in A, however, leaves no doubts as for Chopin's intentions.
