  b. 256-257

Slur only in bar 256 in A (literal reading→GEFEEE)

Slur to c1 in bar 257 in A (contextual interpretation)

In A it is unclear whether Chopin wanted to lead the slur only to the end of bar 256 or to the end of the solo part – a typical dilemma related to the transition to a new page. In the main text we adopt the second possibility, yet the version of the editions may be considered to be equal.
