The five-quaver slur in bars 199-200 was probably added in the last phase of proofreading of FE, which is indicated by its absence in GE. Leaving the 2nd quaver in bar 200 without slur may suggest different possibilities of phrasing and articulation. However, it is most probably an inaccuracy of notation, since in similar motifs the note, in the vast majority of situations – both in FEpiano and in the sources of the orchestral part – is connected to the previous one with a slur. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest adding a respective slur (in GE3, it was added as the only slur in this place). There is a similar situation in bar 444.
