No slur in GE4

In A (→FE→GE), the slur running from the a2 crotchet is not continued in the next bar (in a new line). The inaccuracy was removed by EE, in which the ending of the slur was added in b. 206; GE4 also removed the beginning of that slur.

Slur in A (→FE→GE1→GE1a,GE2→GE3), contextual interpretation & in EE

No slur in GE4
..

In A, the slur that began in the previous bar (at the end of a line) was not continued here. This inaccuracy, so frequent in Chopin's works, was repeated by FE (→GE). We reproduce this incomplete, clearly erroneous version only in the graphic transcription, except for GE4, in which it was also the beginning of this slur in b. 205 that was removed. The ending of the slur was added only by EE.
