These bars, as well as a few next ones, are a characteristic example of Gutmann's inaccuracy as a copyist. The slurs are drawn so inaccurately that the engraver of GE1 simply omitted a few of them, not knowing what to do with them. Our suggestion of their interpretation is only a certain idea of the actual notation. We do not try finding sense in this slurring – there is no doubt that Chopin's intention were regular, three-crotchet-long slurs, conveyed by FE (→EE) and correctly interpreted in GE2. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in GC |

In A there is only an ending of the slur in bar 213 (on a new page). Similarly as in bars 205-207, we assume that it demonstrates that the composer's intention was to embrace with a slur the preceding phrase or motif, which in this case comes down to emphasising the unexpected e category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

In spite of the clear extended slur of A, in GE the slur does not end on the last note in bar 212, which certainly does not correspond to Chopin's intention. FE (→EE) repeated the slur of GE in bar 212 (the last on the page), yet in bar 213, on a new page, a slur reaching the minim was added, as if it were an ending of the previous slur. The added slur is probably a Chopin one, and the ambiguity of notation is a result of a careless implementation of the proofreading, hence we assume that the slurs designate one slur, as in A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

It is unclear whether Chopin wanted to combine the last crotchet in bar 212 with the first one in bar 213 with a slur. In all sources, bar 212 ends a line of the text, which is conducive to inaccuracies – it could explain both the absence of the slur in A and no ending of the slur added in bar 212 in GE1 (→FE→EE). In GE2 the unfinished slur was regarded as a mistake and it was omitted. However, taking into account the fact that the slur of GE1, in spite of its imprecision, could have been added by Chopin, in the main text we include it in a form compliant with the authentic slur in analogous bars 204-205 (we add brackets due to the uncertainty of the source issue). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |

In the main text, we add cautionary naturals before b on the 4th beat of bar 212 and at the beginning of bar 213. category imprint: Editorial revisions |
