  b. 190-196

Slur to a2 in A (literal reading→GE)

Slur to b. 196 in FE (→EE)

In A a line ends in bar 190. The ending of the slur over the R.H. part clearly suggests that it should be continued; however, there is no ending, neither in the next line, encompassing bars 191-195, nor further, in bar 196. In GE the ending of the slur in bar 190 was considered inaccurate, and the slur was led only to the last quaver, a2. In the main text we give a slur reaching bar 196, added certainly by Chopin to [FC] or while proofreading FE1.
