  b. 318-325

a2 & f2 tied in A (→FC→GE) & EE

a2 & f2 repeated in FE

The omission of the ties of a2 in b. 318-319 and of f2 in b. 324-325 in FE may be a result of misinterpretation of Chopinesque very short ties as endings of motivic slurs over the bottom voice motifs: see b. 310-323. The ties were added in EE.
