b. 211-212
In the main text we give the slurs of A, since the changes appearing in GE and FE (→EE) are almost certainly a result of a routine, schematic interpretation of slurs by the engraver of GE1 and inaccuracies of FE.
The alternative interpretation of the slur beginning in bar 212 suggested by us comes from an observation that in A the beginning of the slur falls over a deleted note, probably f2, which may mean that after having performed the correction, Chopin did not control the correctness of the slurring.
