b. 7-8

composition: Op. 28 No. 23, Prelude in F major

2 slurs in A

1 slur in FE (→EE)

Triplet slurs in bat 8 in FC (→GE)
..

In spite of the unequivocal notation of A, the L.H. slurs were reproduced erroneously both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE). Fontana omitted both slurs of A; however, he provided the triplets in b. 8 with conventional slurs (he also did it in b. 12). In turn, it is difficult to say what could have prompted the engraver of FE to combine the slurs, which is contrary to the notation of A.
