  b. 84-85

A possible reading of the slurs of A (→GEFE), slurs in EE3

 

The slur of EE1 (→EE2)

In A (→GEFE), the slur at the end of bar 84 does not match the slur in bar 85 that opens a new system. The slur in bar 85 is drawn as a new one, not a continuation. This inaccurate notation may be interpreted in two ways:

  • the way Chopin notated the slurs in bars 76-77; that version can be found in EE3
  • the way in which the slur in bars 80-81 are notated; that version appears in our main text as the simplest one. 

In EE1 (→EE2) the slurring discrepancy was resolved by omitting the slur at the end of bar 84.
