The slur of A clearly reaches the last note of the sextuplet only. In spite of that, the slur of FE (→GE,EE) is longer, which is difficult to be considered an inaccuracy or an arbitrary decision, since a similar difference is to be found in b. 257-258 (cf. a similar situation in b. 172-174 and the Chopinesque corrections to A in b. 8-19). Therefore, we consider the longer slurs to have been proofread by Chopin and give them in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The slur of A, like in b. 253, encompasses only the sextuplet, whereas in FE the slur encompasses all quavers in the motif. A corresponding L.H. part slur was also added, which confirms that the change was not random. Therefore, we consider the version of the editions to be an expression of Chopin's final intention and give it in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |
