Slur in FE (→EE)

Slurs in FC (→GE)

Slurs suggested by the editors

In the main text we suggest a modified version of the slurring with which Chopin replaced in FC the slur/tie as visible in FE. We justify the extension of the slur encompassing the sequence of thirds with the fact that dragging a slur led over the thirds to d1-f1 at the beginning of bar 9 was difficult in the manuscript (due to the lack of space under the tie to g1) and presented a risk of the notation becoming overcomplicated.
