The slur of FE must be inaccurate, since there is no substantive reason for it not to encompass the entire passage. In turn, it is easy to misinterpret the beginning of the slur in this layout, if – which is highly likely – the beginning of the slur in [A] did not go beyond the top stave (cf., e.g. the autograph of the Etude in F Major, Op. 10 No. 8, b. 16, 29, 65 or the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21, I mov., b. 235). Due to this reason, in the main text we include the extended slur of GE and EE. A similar inaccuracy, although less significant, can be suspected at the end of this slur.
