According to us, instead of the whole-bar slurs of A in bars 178 and 180, GE1 (→FE→EE) initially printed only the slurs over the triplets, which was corrected by Chopin, who added a slur in bar 178 compliant with A. It is noteworthy that the engraver of GE1 did not reproduce the clear and unambiguous slurs of A in any of four bars featuring a two-voice notation (bars 178, 180 and 182-183). It can be considered another argument confirming the misunderstanding of the specificity of piano notation in general, and particularly of the Chopin one. GE2 returned to the Chopin notation in all these bars.
