Slurs

b. 43-44

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Two slurs in A (→GCGE)

One slur in FE, EE

..

Despite the distinctly separate slurs in A, both FE and EE have a continuous slur here, possibly under the influence of the R.H. slur.

b. 46

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slur in A (→FE, EE)

Slur in GC(→GE)

..

In GC (→GE) the slur in the L.H. was dragged until the sustained F-c-f chord in the L.H.

b. 46

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slurs in A

No slurs in GC (→GE) & FE

Slurs in EE

..

The slurs encompassing each of the groups of small quavers are written in A under the notes. This might have resulted in them being omitted in GC (→GE) and FE. However, EE reproduced the slurs over the beams what made possible to avoid clashes with the ties to particular notes of the broken chord. This more readable notation is given in the main text.

b. 47-50

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Eight slurs in A (→FE)

Five slurs in GC

Six slurs in GE

No slurs in EE

..

EE overlooks all slurs in this four-bar section, in both the R.H. and L.H. parts. In GC there are no slurs in the L.H. part in bars 47-49, which is probably a result of an oversight too. In GE the version of GC was completed with a slur in bar 48, probably after bar 50.

b. 51-52

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slur in A (→GCGE)

Two slurs in FE

No slurs in EE

..

The separate R.H. slurs in these bars result most likely from a misunderstanding of the notation in A by the engraver of FE.  Bar 52 starts a new line in A, and the beginning of slur clearly indicates a continuation. However, the slur in bar 51 extends only slightly beyond the bar line what might have mislead the engraver.
EE has no slur whatsoever (it only starts in bar 54), what is certainly a mistake, like in previous bars.
