  b. 1-8

In A one can see crossed-out three-quaver slurs running from the 2nd quaver of each triplet to the 1st quaver of the next one. One can assume that the crossing-out was related to the legato indication added at the beginning of the Prelude. At the beginning of the Etude in A Major, Op. 10 No. 10, we can see an evolution of notation that was perhaps going in a similar direction; in that Etude, Chopin removed the initial accents while proofreading the French edition.
