The missing  mark in FESB must be an oversight of the engraver; in this bar, he also overlooked 2 accents and a grace note.

Differences in the scope of the dynamic hairpin  may be accidental. Along with source versions we propose the hairpin modelled after the solution adopted in three previous analogous places.

b. 268

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

Continuous slur in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

Continuous slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Divided slurs in GE2
..

The traces of division of the slur can be seen also in Morch, in the quintet parts. Perhaps it made the reviser of GE2 introduce a similar change. Slurs over rests are nothing unusual in Chopin's works – cf. e.g. the Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24 No. 1, bars 3, 7 and analog. The addition of slurs for the L.H. in the editions is most probably a revision of GE1 – see bar 267.
