The extension of the slur in bar 284 in GE is most probably a routine revision assuming that the A slur is inaccurate; actually, it looks as if Chopin stopped writing it after having encountered an obstacle in the form of the a category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies , FE revisions , |

The earlier starting point of the slur in GE (→FE,IE) is either a routine revision, adjusting a slur to a rhythmic group (in this case a bar), or an inaccuracy. The EE version could have resulted from a misinterpretation of the GE slur, and its compliance with the A notation is almost certainly accidental. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |

The version of the majority of the editions resulted from a misinterpretation of the tie to f as a slur referring to the R.H. top voice. The authentic tie was added in EE2, most probably by analogy with bar 308. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in GE |

When interpreted literally, the A slur encompasses more or less the notes ranging from F1 to c; it is undoubtedly inaccurate in this form. In this situation it seems natural to lead it to the end of the bar, yet in the main text we include the interpretation adopted by GE (→FE,EE,IE), in which the slur starts from the 2nd quaver, as Chopin clearly wrote it in a similar context in bar 293 and in the entire group of similar figures in bar 154, 162-163, 166-167, 170-171. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

The unclear version of EE results from a double error by the engraver, who placed the tie (slur?) in bar 326 (at the end of the line) at c1 instead of f1, and omitted its ending in bar 327. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness issues: Errors in EE , Uncertain slur continuation |
