The five-quaver slur in bars 199-200 was probably added in the last phase of proofreading of FE, which is indicated by its absence in GE. Leaving the 2nd quaver in bar 200 without slur may suggest different possibilities of phrasing and articulation. However, it is most probably an inaccuracy of notation, since in similar motifs the note, in the vast majority of situations – both in FEpiano and in the sources of the orchestral part – is connected to the previous one with a slur. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest adding a respective slur (in GE3, it was added as the only slur in this place). There is a similar situation in bar 444. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the 1st half of the bar, FE 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 and GE3; in turn, the missing slur in the L.H. in GE1 (→GE2) is almost certainly a mistake. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

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). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

In FE, the missing slur is most probably an oversight related to the introduction of bass clef to the notation of f category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Uncertain slur continuation |

The lack of three subsequent slurs in the L.H. part is almost certainly an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→GE2). A slur in the bottom voice in bar 229 was added in GE3 after analogy with adjacent bars. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |
