Slurs in GC (→GE)

Slur in FE (→EE)

It is hard to determine how the difference in the slurring between FE and GC occurred. The new slur over bar 208 seems to be added, perhaps by Chopin, yet it could have been an ad hoc correction of a too short, or perhaps poorly visible, slur. In the main text we give the slur of FE, compatible with the prevailing phrasing.
