Two curved lines visible in A – the tie of g1 and the phrase mark in bar 200 – were reproduced in GE (→FE→EE) 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 e1 minim in bar 199 with the g1 crotchet 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 b
1. 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.
