In the main text we add slurs to the staccato dots with which the pairs of L.H. crotchets are marked in these bars (Chopin wrote such slurs only in the 2nd halves of b. 196, 198 and 200). We provide an extensive justification of this decision in the note concerning b. 9-21. As was the case there, slurs were added here also by EE3 (except for the 2nd half of b. 199).
Isolated cases of adding slurs, probably resulting from the engravers' mistakes, are visible in GE1a in the 2nd half of b. 195, in GE (including in GE1a) in the 2nd half of b. 201 and in FE and all the remaining editions in b. 202.
