b. 187-188

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

Slurs from 2nd quaver  in A, literal reading

Slurs from 1st quaver in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

The A slurs are most probably inaccurate, which was deciphered already in GE (→FE,EE,IE). The majority of similar motifs are devoid of slurs, yet the first one provided with a slur (bar 17) clearly shows how Chopin envisioned its range in such situations. The fact that the slurs should end before the rest is also evidenced by the authentic slurs in bars 90-91 and 92-93. The issue concerning the slur's starting point – see the note on bars 17-20.

Slur suggested by the editors

In the main text we suggest a slur under the quaver group after the analogous situations in bar 16 and 42. GE (→FE,EE,IE) also added a slur.

b. 194

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

Starting from the 2nd crotchet in the bar Chopin used a shorthand form of notation to write the L.H. octaves – top notes only with the words con 8 - - -. In GE (→FE,EE,IE) the octaves were written in full.
