b. 118-119

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Tie in A (→FE,GC<wbr>→GE1)

No tie in EE

Shifted tie (slur?) in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The lack of tie to a1 is almost certainly an oversight in EE. It is unclear why the tie was moved upwards in GE2 (→GE3), obfuscating its meaning (whether it is a tie or a slur).

g tied in A (→GC) & FE3

g repeated in FE1 (→FE2), EE & GE
..

In EE, GE and FE1 (→FE2) there is no tie sustaining the g note to the next bar. FE3 corrected this inaccuracy.
