Slur in bars 192-194 in A & GE2

Slur in bar 193 in GE1 (→FEEE)

The slurs of A (our main text), showing precisely the phrasing of the melody in the topmost voice, was replaced in GE1 with slurs embracing entire bars. It is a characteristic example of a schematic and disrespectful approach of the engraver of this edition to Chopin slurs. The authentic slurs (except for the ending of the slur in bar 194) were restored in GE2.
