Slurs in GE, EE3

No slurs in FE

Notation of  EE1(→EE2)

FE (→EE1→EE2) omitted both slurs encompassing two last chords of the Nocturne. It is difficult to say wether it was an oversight, or the engraver of FE left the slurs out regarding them as misplaced ties. Moreover, EE1 (→EE2) misunderstood the authentic division of the voices indicating the pianistically natural execution with e-g played by R.H., and G-c by L.H. In EE3 the undoubtedy correct GE version was reinstated.
