Slurs

b. 66-68

composition: Op. 25 No 3, Etude in F major

Slurs in GC, FE & GE2 (→GE3)

Slur in EE1 (→EE2)

Slurs in GE1 & EE3

..

The extended slurs of GE1 are a result of misunderstanding of the base text (GC). The absence of the first slur in EE1 (→EE2) is most probably an oversight of the copyist or engraver. The slurs in EE3 suggest the influence of the first GE1.

b. 69-70

composition: Op. 25 No 3, Etude in F major

Slurs in GC, literal reading (→GE1)

Slurs in GC (contextual interpretation) & GE2 (→GE3)

Slur in FE & EE

..

The ending of the slur in bar 70 cannot be considered as reliable in GC. As far as bars 68-69 are concerned, it is hard to state in which sources the slurring of [A] was interpreted correctly – in GC or in FE and EE. The arguments for a continuous slur are not only the number of sources, yet also the fact that possible corrections of the slurring could have had place only in the lost manuscripts, as they are not to be seen in GC. Due to these facts, in the main text we give the version of FE and EE, being conscious of the fact that the interpretation of slurs of GC adopted in GE3 (→#GE4) may also correspond to Chopin's intention.

b. 70-72

composition: Op. 25 No 3, Etude in F major

No slur in GC (→GE)

Sur in FE & EE

..

Lack of the slur in GC (→GE) is most probably a result of the copyist's oversight. It is also possible that Chopin added this slur in base texts to FE and EE and he omitted GC. Anyways, there are no reasons to assume that Chopin would have wanted to resign from it.
