The deletions visible in A reveal that the decision concerning the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar in the L.H. part was changed twice. Two versions were deleted, one of which – most probably the initial one – is identical to the final text (the F1-F minim). In the second deleted version Chopin kept simultaneous chords (including basses) to the end: .

No markings in FE (→EE1)
..

As in bars 199-200, the pedal markings were probably added to A after the basis for FE had been finished, that is [FC]. In EE2 the marks were added after comparing it with GE1.

In A the slur reaches only the 1st crotchet in the bar, which was repeated by all editions. According to us, it is, however, the most glaring example of the inaccuracies concerning the A slurs in this section – cf. the slurs beginning too early or ending too soon in bars 200-201, 204 and 206 as well as at the beginning of lines in bar 203, 213 and 219. Due to this, in the main text we give a slur reaching the 2nd crotchet, in accordance with the musical sense – cf. bar 199.

Slurs divided above rest in A (→GE)

Slurs divided above barline in FE (→EE)
..

The FE (→EE) slurs almost certainly resulted from inaccuracies in the reproduction of the A notation, committed by the copyist or by the engraver, or by both.
