  b. 190-191

New slur in GC (literal reading) & FE (→EE)

Slur continued in GC (interpretation→GE)

Providing bar 191 with a separate slur can be an echo of the original slurring (cf., e.g., the slurs in bars 45-48). The notation of GC suggests that the slurs could have been combined by Chopin in [A], which was misunderstood in FE (→EE).
