End of slur in GC, literal reading

End of slur in GC (contextual interpretation→GE) & FE3 (→FE4,FE5) & EE
..

In GC, same as in bar 16 (bar 70 is only marked as its repetition), the end of the slur can be interpreted in two ways. In the main text we give a more likely, conventional interpretation of this detail, present in all editions – only in FE1 (→FE2) the slur in bars 77-78 was entirely overlooked.

..

Similarly as in bar 20, due to Chopin's mistake in [A], the correct notation of the trill appeared in the editions – despite the proofreading of FE3 – only in GE2 and EE2. The mistake was corrected in FESch and FES.
