Similarly as in bars 199-200, the tie of g1 was interpreted in GE (→FE→EE) as a phrase mark, combining the c1-e1 minim in bar 201 with g1 in bar 202. One has to admit that the notation of A is unclear in this case, even if we consider the Chopin way of notation of ties – Chopin wrote the part of the tie falling in bar 201 longer than usual, as he probably wanted to make the notation more legible. However, it was counterproductive: the beginning of the "longer" tie does not reach g1 anyway and it points to e1. The correct interpretation of the tie is indicated by the shape of its ending in bar 202, typical for ties, and the tie of g1 in the 1st violin part in Morch.
