FE1

The fact that the slurs of FE (→EE) probably do not correspond to Chopin's final intention is proved by:
- precise slurs (and staccato marks) in bar 550 and 552;
- placement of
like in bar 550 and 552, and not at the beginning of the bar, like in bar 556; - changes of rhythm and slurring in exposition – see bar 197 – proving that the long slurs from the 1st semiquaver of the bar are the original version, then changed at different occasions (proofreading, pupil's copy). Therefore, it seems to be highly likely that Chopin left the original notation unchanged also here.
Taking into account the above, in the main text we move the point of division of the slurs by analogy with bar 550 and 552. The version of GE is probably a revision going in similar direction yet simplified.
