Issues : Uncertain slur continuation

b. 30-31
|
composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major
..
The ending of the slur over b. 30-31 is uncertain in A1: at the end of the line, in b. 30, the slur suggests continuation, yet there is no ending thereof in b. 31. A comparison with the slur in b. 26-27, extended by Chopin, proves that it is the missing ending of the slur in b. 31 that is a mistake. Such interpreted slurs are featured in FE2, which may be a result of Chopin's proofreading, since FE1 considered the slur in b. 30 to be inaccurate and shortened it correspondingly. In the main text we give the unquestionable four-bar slur of GE1, reflecting [A2] (in GE2 it was reproduced inaccurately: in b. 30, which ends the page, the slur reaches the minim only; see also b. 65-66). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , Authentic corrections of FE , Uncertain slur continuation |

In A b. 31 falls at the end of the page, while the L.H. phrase mark (the R.H. too) clearly suggests that it should be continued. However, on a new page, in b. 32, the phrase mark starts only just on the 1st crotchet. We assume that it is the latter that is inaccurate, since a potential division of the phrase marks would be rather symbolic here – the division falls on a tied note. In addition, this is how it was interpreted both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Source & stylistic information |

AI is lacking in the beginning of the R.H. slur at the end of b. 32, which closes the line. The slur that begins in b. 33 is ambiguous – it may suggest continuation, yet we assume that it starts only just in this bar. A similar situation can be found in GE, in which the slur also begins along with a new line in b. 33. In both cases, an inaccuracy of notation may be suspected, hence in the main text we give the slur of AF (→FE→EE), confirmed by the concordant version of all the sources in analog. b. 124-125. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Uncertain slur continuation |

Looking at the notation of A, one can have doubts whether in b. 33 Chopin wanted to continue the preceding slur or start a new one. The change of texture and the category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources |

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III
..
In FE (→GE1→GE2), the slur in the R.H., which started in bar 32, does not have an ending here, i.e. on a new line. The defect was corrected in EE and GE3. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Uncertain slur continuation , Errors repeated in GE |
