According to us, the slur of A ending in bar 396 is inaccurate – see bars 52-53 – hence in the main text we lead it to the beginning of the next bar, in accordance with the slurs of flute I and clarinet in Morch. The authenticity of the slur added in GE (→FE→EE) in bars 397-398 is also questionable – its beginning is contrary to the phrasing that naturally follows from the instrumentation. Therefore, we do not include this slur in the main text. However, taking into account a possibility of a Chopinesque proofreading of GE1 in this place, we suggest a slur started a crotchet later as an alternative solution – the Chopinesque entry could have been misinterpreted by the engraver.
The delayed beginning of the first slur is most probably an inaccuracy of FE (→EE).
