The division of the slur in GE (→FE), as a result of which the 2nd half in bar 328 is not embraced with a slur at all, is undoubtedly a mistake of the engraver of GE1. The version of FE – without a slur in bar 329 – can be interpreted as an oversight of FE or as a notation of the state of GE1 from before the final retouch. In the second case, the slur of GE1 in bar 329 would be an inaccurate attempt to alleviate the consequences of omission of the final one-and-a-half-bar fragment of the slur. A suitable completion of the slur, this time accurate, was introduced in EE. See also the note on the slur in the L.H.

In FE the bottom notes of the last chord in bar 346 and the first one in bar 347 are switched – g1 is in bar 347 and a1 in bar 346. This patent double mistake was corrected in EE.
