Tenuto slur in bar 77 in A

Tie to g1 in FE (→GE,EE)

..

In A the gminim is supposed to be repeated in bar 77 – it is not combined with a tie with the previous one; moreover, Chopin provided it with a separate tenuto-slur. The tie, present in FE (→GE,EE), linking it to g1, held from bar 72, could have been added by Chopin. However, according to us, a mistake of the engraver, who could have misinterpreted the non-standard tenuto-slur (it is absent in the editions) or simply mistaken bar 77 with one of the previous ones, is more likely. Therefore, in the main text we stick to the notation of A. The version with a tie of gin bar 77 can be considered a variant.
