  b. 25-26

2 slurs in A (→FC,FEEE)

1 slur/tie in GE

4 slurs, our alternative suggestion

Unlike in analogous b. 21-22, Chopin wrote here in the R.H. part only one slur in each bar. The simplified notation could have represented economy of notation, typical of Chopin, or could have been aimed at reducing the number of cramped markings to help the engravers. Taking into account the latter, we suggest the more detailed marks from b. 21-22 as an alternative solution. GE distorted even the simplified slurring by replacing the slurs with one curved line, linking the minims in the top voice, which is, by the way, ambiguous, since it may be both a slur or a tie.
