The slurs of FE are inaccurate, to say the least – the slur in bar 549 (which opens a line) is a continuation of a non-existing slur at the end of bar 548 (in the system, we consider the slur in the same way it was interpreted in GE1, i.e. as beginning in bar 549). A comparison with analogous bars 193-194 shows which slur Chopin most probably meant, and we give this version in the main text. In EE, like in bars 541-542, the slur was completed in the simplest manner – the initial fragment of the slur from bar 549 was added over the 3rd beat of bar 548. In GE3, both bars were encompassed with one slur; however, it was not led to the beginning of bar 550.
