Tie to f​​​​​​​1 in FE, possible interpretation

Slur ​​​​​​​​- in FE (different interpretation→GE1→GE2)​​​​​​

Slur & tie in EE

Neither slur nor tie in GE3
..

The curved line in FE is present only in the 2nd half of bar 393 (the last on a page), and it is unclear whether it runs from d1 or f​​​​​​​1. In the face of the missing ending in bar 394, it is difficult to determine its nature – it can be a motivic slur combining d1-e1,  like it was reproduced in GE1 (→GE2), or a tie of f1. The version of EE with two curved lines is probably arbitrary. In addition, it cannot be excluded that the very presence of a curved line in this place is a mistake; perhaps it was meant to be a tie of f1 in bar 392-393 – cf. the tie in bars 400-401 (it was considered erroneous probably in GE3).

In the main text, we omit this unclear and dubious marking, which results in a version compliant with analogous bars 397-398.

No slurs in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

4 slurs in GE3
..

The complete absence of slurs in these bars must be an oversight. In spite of that, slurs were added only in GE3.

Accent on a2 in FE (literal reading→EE)

Accent on b1 in GE

Long accent on b1 in FE, possible interpretation
..

The meaning of the accent of FE (→EE) placed under a2, at the pitch of b1, is unclear. When interpreted literally, it is a short accent on a​​​​​​​2, which we give in the main text. However, it is possible that we are dealing with an inaccurately reproduced long accent under b1 (cf. the notation of some of the accents in the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21, the 1st mov., bars 4-5 or in the Etude in A Minor, Op. 10 No. 2, bars 45-46). The latter is supported by an analogy with the previous bar. The mark was similarly interpreted in GE.

In the main text, we add a cautionary ​​​​​​​ before b1 in bars 395 and 399. The accidentals were added also in GE3.
