Slurs over semiquavers in sources, literal reading |

Slurs over whole motives suggested by editors |
According to us, the slurs in the sources resulted from the FE engraver having misunderstood [A]. It is difficult to assume that Chopin would have wanted to pay a particular attention to the 3 middle notes of the bottom voice figure with the help of slurs, omitting the thematic top voice. It is most likely that the slurs in [A] were between the top voice notes and referred to the top voice, covering the entire bottom voice figure as well.
The same applies to bars 203-206.
