Issues : Triplet slurs

In A, each of the subsequent 7 sextuplets in b. 242-245 is provided with a digit 6 and a separate slur, irrespective of the primary slur encompassing the entire chromatic sequence. Apart from minor inaccuracies, this notation was reproduced in the editions too. Such accuracy in marking a most regular structure is exceptional not only in Chopin's manuscripts, but also in the editorial practices in general. In this situation, we keep it in the main text, although the mUltimate Chopin editors did not find any potential reason for this uncommon notational consistency convincing enough to be worth mentioning. Our alternative suggestion is a simplified notation, adapted to the principles we adhere to in our transcriptions – cf.

..
In A, Chopin embraced this pair of bars with one slur, which he then clearly divided into two, in accordance with the slurring of similar pairs of bars in the three remaining fragments of this movement of the Concerto, built upon similar phrases (bars 177-182, 353-364 and 494-499). The fact that the division was not included in GE (→FE→EE) can be most probably explained by an arbitrary decision of the engraver of GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Authentic corrections of GE , Triplet slurs |

In accordance with the General Editorial Principles, p. 16, in the main text we omit the 4 slurs present in the majority of the sources; these slurs are part of the triplet markings, and they unnecessarily overlap the articulation slurs of the same range. The slurs were also omitted by FESB. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: FE revisions , Triplet slurs |

The slur visible in A under the quaver triplet in bars 293 and 297 was most probably overlooked both in GE1 and in GE2 (it is understandable in bar 293, in which the slur blends into the category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Triplet slurs |
