We consider the missing slur in FE to be an oversight (of the engraver or Chopin). The slur suggested in the main text is modelled after authentic slurs in analogous bars 412-414. The range of the slur added in EE is unclear – when interpreted literally, it encompasses the last 9 semiquavers in bar 436; however, its shape and placement suggest that it was supposed to have the same range as the one given by us. The version of GE3 is arbitrary.
