Two curved lines visible in A – the tie of gand the phrase mark in bar 200 – were reproduced in GE (→FEEE) as one phrase mark, running from the 2nd minim in bar 199. The reason for the misunderstanding of the notation of A was most probably the Chopin manner of writing ties: in this case the engraver probably considered the tie to be combining the eminim in bar 199 with the gcrotchet in bar 200. In GE (→FE) the second minim in the R.H. in bar 199 was divided into two voices – a c1-e1 third and b1. This arbitrary change probably stemmed from the inaccurate notation of A too (quite frequent in the case of Chopin) – both top notes of this chord are written without stems.
