In A there are visible deletions of the endings of the slurs over the staccato dots in bars 201-204. Instead of them, Chopin added new, shorter endings below, reaching the note heads. The aim of these corrections remains unclear, perhaps the goal was to graphically emphasise the dots. For the second time, in bars 209-212, the composer wrote the slurs already in the "new" way, except for bar 211, in which one can see a correction described above, although without deletion of the original ending.
