Slurs

b. 2-6

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major

No slurs in A (→FEEE3)

Slur in GE & EE4

Our suggestion

..

We suggest to complete the slurs after Chopin's marks in analogous bars 16 and 20. In bar 6 the slur was already added in GE and EE4.

Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

Different interpretation of slurs in A

No slurs in FE (→GE,EE)

..

The range and possible divisions of slurs in A are unclear. We suggest two possible interpretations. Perhaps it was the uncertainty concerning this issue that was the reason for the omission of the slurs in bars 3-5 in FE (→GE,EE). In this kind of rhythmically homogeneous, virtuoso figuration, possible breaks in slurs on the main beats of the bar do not influence the performance.

b. 8

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major

No slur in A (→FEGE,EE3)

Slur in EE4

Our suggestion

..

In this context, lack of the slur over the semiquavers in the R.H. must be considered as Chopin's inaccuracy, which is justified by the revision introduced in EE4.

b. 10-12

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major

Slurs in A

No slurs in FE (→GE,EE)

..

According to us, the 2nd slur in bar 10 and the slur in bars 11-12 were omitted in FE (→GE,EE) due to the engraver's inattention.

b. 17-18

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major

Slur in A (→FE)

Slurs in GE & EE

..

In A (→FE) the slurs between these bars are connected. In FE, due to the graphic layout, in which bar 18 falls in a new line, the issue may raise certain doubts, a proof of which are GE and EE, which give separated slurs.
