Ties in FE

Additional slur in EE

Chopin supplemented the ties sustaining g1 and c2 when proofreading FE (→EE). The lack of ties could have been intentional—the marking placed over the fourth g1-c2 suggests the repetition of those notes. The additional slur linking f1 and e1 in EE is certainly inauthentic .
