Adding slurs under the L.H. demisemiquavers (as performed in GE2 in this entire section) is rational – the L.H. part is undoubtedly supposed to be performed with the same articulation as the R.H. one. In such homogeneous texture Chopin would generally leave it to the imagination of the performers, hence we do not include those additions in the main text. In GE2 a similar procedure was applied with respect to the staccato dots – see next note.
