In the 1st half of the bar, FE (→GE1→GE2) has different slurs for the R.H. and for the L.H. We unify them in the main text by changing the slur in the L.H. after the slur in the R.H.; a similar change was introduced in EE. In GE3, the slurs were changed in the parts of both hands, assimilating the slurring of this bar to analogous bar 449. According to us, this solution, generally totally arbitrary, may be considered a justified attempt at reconstructing Chopin's intention, assuming it was inaccurately reproduced by FE (after all, it is quite likely that it was already in [A] that the slurs were being written hastily and inaccurately).

No slur in FE

Slur in GE & EE
..

In FE, the missing slur is most probably an oversight related to the introduction of bass clef to the notation of f​​​​​​​. Anyway, it must be an inaccuracy, which was corrected already in GE and EE.
Distraction of the engraver of FE is proved also by the missing initial fragment of the next slur – it is only its ending in bar 208, on a new line, that was printed.

A later beginning of the ​​​​​​​ mark in GE1 (→GE2) must be an inaccuracy resulting from having divided these bars into two great staves. GE3 prolonged the mark yet did not repeat its range from FE.

In FE (→EE1), there is no  lowering d​​​​​​​2 to d2. The accidental was added in GE and EE2 (→EE3).

..

In bar 213, a  (cautionary?) before c​​​​​​​ is present in all sources. A similar situation occurs in bar 217, in which, however, GE3 omitted this completely unjustified accidental.
