Slur in EE

The slur in EE is an arbitrary addition, and possibly a mistake – repeating the slurring pattern from previous bars.

In FE, the slurs that begin in bar 396 and 398 (and also 400) end on the 5th semiquaver of the following bar, in a place where a new slur also begins. In this context, it is to be considered an inaccuracy. Perhaps the engraver literally conveyed Chopin's bold, imprecise slurs, which are frequently encountered in his autographs. The revisers of GE and EE correctly ended those slurs on the 4th semiquavers of the discussed bars.

The lack of the tie combining the grace note with the lower note of the octave is most probably an oversight of the engraver of GE.
