Separate slurs in A, probable interpretation (→FC→GE, →FE→EE) |

Continuous slur in A, possible interpretation |
In A the slurring, somewhat similar to the previous pair of bars, is unclear – the slur in b. 25, at the end of the line, suggests a continuation, which, however, is contradicted by the slur in b. 26, which begins only just over the 3rd demisemiquaver in the bar. Chopin corrected the slur in b. 26 by combining in the middle of the bar the initially written two slurs. Had he wanted to combine this slur with the previous one, he might have also corrected its beginning; consequently, we consider the fact of leaving the undoubtedly inaccurate beginning of the slur uncorrected to be an argument for divided slurs, which we give in the main text.
