  b. 81-87

6 different slurs in GC

No slurs in FE

7 shorter slurs in EE

4 longer slurs in GE1

5 longer slurs in GE2

7 longer slurs – our suggestion

Both versions of slurring appearing in the sources may be authentic, although it does not seem that Chopin hesitated how to mark these bars. The difference results rather from an inaccurate notation, both in [A] (→GCGE) and in the base text to EE. Settling this kind of doubt can be difficult, even if we dispose of the autograph – cf. the Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24 No. 1, bar 21. In the main text, in all seven bars we give slurs embracing entire bars, in accordance with the notation of GC in the vast majority of the cases (five out of six). The version of EE can be considered to be an alternative, equivalent suggestion (in bars 81-84 it offers a kind of an accent on each strike: strong beat of a bar, beginning of the slur, a written out accent; it should not blur the natural character of this delicately swinging figure).
