We consider that the subtle improvement introduced by Chopin in the proofreading of FE in the analogous bar in the exposition is valid also here. Chopin would often overlook proofreading of one of a few similar places.

e2 repeated in A (→GE→FE→EE1→EE2)

e2 tied in EE3

Tie to e2 suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest tying e2, after the Chopin proofreading of FE in the analogous bar of the exposition (bar 138). The tie was added in EE3, most probably on the basis of comparison with the exposition.

Half-bar slur in sources

Our variant suggestion
..

In the analogous figure in bar 309, Chopin shortened the slur, so that it would start from the 2nd quaver. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that he forgot to introduce a similar correction in this place. Taking into account this possibility, we suggest a shorter slur as an alternative version.
