  b. 260-261

No slur in A (→GE)

Slur to end of bar in FE (→EE)

Slur to bar 261 suggested by the editors

The very fact of a slur having been added in the proofreading of FE (→EE) by Chopin does not raise doubts, yet its range seems to have been reproduced inaccurately. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a slur led to the beginning of bar 261, after the slur written with Chopin's hand in an analogous motif two bars earlier.
