In accordance with the explanation in the note to b. 127, in the main text we follow FE and suggest adding slurs (in square brackets). We also add staccato dots (see the adjacent note). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

As the division of the slur in FE (→EE) falls during a tied note, practically, both versions of slurring bear the same meaning. To the main text we adopt the slur of GE as compliant with the slurs in analogous b. 129 and 148-149, running from the beginning of the phrase. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The earlier start of the slur probably resulted from an inaccurate notation of [A]. A new phrase clearly begins on the 2nd quaver, which is confirmed by the slurring of all analogous places – b. 200 as well as 141, 143, 161, 163 and 202. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

In the main text we give the slurring of GE, in which the slurs are separated with rests in b. 224 and 226. Although one can often encounter slurs over rests in Chopin's output – cf., e.g. b. 217 or 240 – in this case it is much more likely that the continuous slur encompassing b. 220-227 in FE resulted from misinterpretation of the slurs of the handwritten basis (perhaps inaccurate or ambiguous). It particularly concerns b. 224 – cf. analogous b. 165 – in which the melody, not to mention the L.H. part, moves on to a higher register (from f category imprint: Differences between sources |

In FE b. 227 closes the line, while the ending of the slur clearly suggests that it should be continued, which is not confirmed by the slur in b. 228, which begins from the 1st note. We interpret it as separate slurs, which is compliant with the notation of GE and which was interpreted as such in EE, based on FE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Uncertain slur continuation |
