Slur in FE (literal reading→GE1GE2)

Slur in FE, possible interpretation

Tie to  f1 in EE & GE3

In the main text, we give the interpretation of the curved line of FE (→GE1GE2) adopted in EE and GE3. The Chopinesque manner of writing ties as short curved lines reaching the prolonging note would frequently result in their erroneous interpretation. However, other possibilities cannot be excluded – the curved line in the autograph could have been led over the top voice, since moving slurs to the side of note heads was a routine procedure, frequently applied by engravers.
