The unbroken – in spite of the rest – slur of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) must be a remaining part of the original version of the rhythm (with semiquavers without rest). The need to separate the first two notes from the following semiquavers was confirmed by Chopin with additional marks written in pencil in FED – a slashed line, underlining the significance of the rest (also in bar 201), as well as a slur over the first two semiquavers. Taking that into account, in the main text, we divide the slur, adjusting the phrasing to the rhythmic notation.
