It is difficult to imagine that Chopin, when proofreading GE1, could have added slurs in the L.H. in this form: the added slur, analogous with the slur in the R.H. (cf. the slur in GE2), was either reproduced in a simplified manner (GE1 avoided long slurs, requiring a precise adjustment) or it is simply an editorial revision. Since in such a context the slur over the R.H. is valid also for the L.H., in the main text we leave the notation of A.

Accent in A & GE2

The missing accent in GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly an oversight.

The ties of b in bar 214 and a in bar 216, very carefully written in A, were nonetheless reproduced in GE1 (→FE→EE) as d1-e1 and c1-d1 slurs. In GE2 the first of them was arbitrarily moved, so that it combines f1 and e1.
