The slur under the last three quavers of the R.H. bottom voice added in GE (→FE,EE) is questionable, as far as its possible authenticity is concerned. The slurring of this bar could actually be considered incomplete; however, a slur of such range does not correspond to any tangible structural unit (motif), while legato articulation is indicated in the sources of the orchestral part for the entire 6-note motif of the bassoon I from the 2nd quaver in the bar to the beginning of bar 355. According to us, the slur could have resulted from a misunderstanding in interpreting A or an entry in the proof copy of GE1 (perhaps Chopinesque). Taking into account the above, we do not include this slur in the main text.
