The A slur clearly reaches the e1 crotchet at the beginning of bar 172. In GE (→EE) the notation is inaccurate – the slur in bar 171, at the end of a line, suggests that it should be continued, yet in a new line, in bar 172, there is no ending thereof. We reproduce it – in accordance with FE and IE – as a slur reaching just d category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Uncertain slur continuation , Errors repeated in EE |

The absence of all slurs between the chords in GE (→FE,EE,IE) is most probably due to inattention of the engraver of GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

The shorter L.H. slur is an inaccuracy, probably forced by the lack of space to lead a longer slur. The undoubtedly accidental omission of both slurs in EE1 was corrected in EE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in EE |

In the main text we keep the A (→GE) slur, being a part of the irregular group marking. In the remaining editions it was transformed into an articulation slur, which can be considered an acceptable variant, as in later pieces Chopin would often change the initially written "rhythmic" slurs into articulation ones – cf., e.g. the Etude in C minor, Op. 10 No. 12, bars 52-62. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Triplet slurs |

The missing slur is most probably due to an oversight by the engraver of GE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |
