Issues : Inaccurate slurs in A

b. 203

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I
..
In A the L.H. slur in the 1st half of the bar encompasses only the 2nd and 3rd quaver. It is almost certainly one of the more glaring examples of the inaccurate notation in this autograph (in this respect), hence to the main text we adopt the editions' interpretation of this slur. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

As in bars 199-203, the FE slurs may be an authentic variant of phrasing, yet most probably written down inaccurately. We assume that the beginning of the slur in bar 205 is probably erroneous (from the 1st chord, suggesting that the phrase should be divided internally, resulting in the dominant chord leading to the tonic chord being separated from it). Therefore, as an alternative for the source notation, we suggest moving the beginning of this slur over the next chord. In the main text we give here the A slurs (→GE), unquestionable in this place, despite the beginning of the slur starting in bar 204 being over the g category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

In bars 205-206, ending the page in A, the slur is led only over the R.H. However, on a new page, in bar 207 the ending of the slur is written in the parts of both hands. It can be simply an insignificant mistake, yet, according to us, writing the slur also in the L.H. proves that Chopin was convinced that he wrote slurs for both hands in the previous bars. Perhaps the slur in GE2 was added on that basis – it is absent in GE1 (→FE→EE1). A slur added only in bar 206 in EE2 (→EE3) is absolutely arbitrary.

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

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. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Uncertain slur continuation |

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor
..
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. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Inaccurate slurs in A , Uncertain slur continuation , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE |
