The complete lack of articulation markings in AI – slurs, staccato dots – in bar 78 points to Chopin's distraction in this bar, ending the line, since the preceding bars abounded in such markings. Therefore, the short slur in bar 77 may be unfinished or left without continuation with other slurs or dots. In the main text we give the two-bar slur of FE (→GE,EE), undoubtedly corresponding to the latest articulation concept of this phrase.
