No dot in GE & EE

In GE1 (→GE2GE3) and EE there are no staccato dots under the 2nd crotchet (d1) in bars 58 and 62. These are almost certainly errors of the engravers.

In FEG Chopin wrote the leggiero indication over the R.H. part. It is similarly placed also in FE and EE. However, in GE the indication was placed between the staves, contrary to Chopin's inscription in FEG.

The range of the slur written by Chopin into FEG is difficult to evaluate on the basis of the available photocopy. The reading in GE1 suggests it might have actually been longer than its today visible part. Taking into consideration the phrase structure and slurring of the analogous phrases in bars 245-260 and 89-103, we deem three out of all source-based slurring justified: FEG, FE and EE (GE2, GE3). In the main text we accept the latter because both the starting and ending points of this slur appear in more than one authentic source: the phrase mark begins from the semiquaver  in FEG and EE, and it reaches bar 235 in FE and EE.
