The slurring in bars 159-164 is clearly incomplete in FE0, which may be a result of Chopin's inaccuracies in [A], errors of the engraver or both. Chopin then changed and completed the slurs in FEG, the base text to EE and proofreading of FE1, yet in all of them differently. In total, it gives three different authentic slurring versions. In the main text we give the version written by Chopin's hand in FEG (→GE1), as in the case of FE and EE, there is a slight possibility that Chopin proofreading was overlaid with certain mistakes, manners or revisions of the engravers.
It is not entirely clear what the motivation of the reviser of GE2 (→GE3) was at the time of breaking the slur between bars 159 and 160.
