It is difficult to say whether the absence of the tie of b in GE means that Chopin abandoned the idea of holding that note or whether it is a result of an oversight of the engraver or of Chopin himself. Due to the above reason we suggest a variant solution with the tie in brackets.
In FE (→EE) the tie was misinterpreted as a slur combining the d1 crotchet in b. 76 with the bottom note of the chord at the beginning of b. 77. As all other ties, written in A1 in the same manner, typical of Chopin, were reproduced in FE correctly, the mistake could have been provoked by the fact that b. 76 was written in A1 on a stave above (due to deletions).
