Longer slur in FE (→GE1,→EEW)

Shorter slur in GE2 (→GE3)

The decision to shorten the slur in GE2 (→GE3) could have resulted from the vague notation of GE1, in which the slur goes beyond f2 in bar 16, yet it does not reach g2 in bar 17. On the other hand, in a similar situation in bars 20-21, the slur in GE1 is drawn in a clearer manner to g2 in bar 21; nevertheless, in GE2 (→GE3) an analogous revision was performed. In both places, the reviser probably took into consideration the structure of the Mazurka – in bar 17, a new, eight-bar sentence begins, while in bar 21 – its second phrase.
