The evolution of the slurring in these bars, visible in the deletions and corrections of A, could have looked like as follows:
- Chopin started from 4 half-bar slurs in b. 112-113;
- the slur in the 1st half of b. 113 was deleted and replaced with a shorter one, encompassing only the b2-a2 motif (the slur of the same range concerning the bottom voice could have been introduced at this stage as well); at the same time, a change was made to the slur in the 2nd half of the bar, i.e. it should start earlier – from the g
2 quaver; - eventually, Chopin combined 3 slurs (the second in b. 112 and both in b. 113) in one, which he prolonged to the 1st chord in b. 114.
The slur received its final shape at the stage of proofreading FE – Chopin prolonged it to the beginning of b. 115.
