Slurs

b. 144-145

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

Slur from 5th quaver in A (→FE→EE,GE1op,GE1no2)

Slur from 6th quaver in GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2no2
..

Shifting the beginning of the slur to the last quaver in bar 144 is a revision of later GE, most probably in analogy to bars 16-17, in which the editions misinterpreted the notation of FE.

b. 157-158

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

No slur in A (→FE→GE1op,GE1no2,EEC,EEW1)

Slur in GE2op (→GE3op), GE2no2 & EEW2

Our variant suggestion
..

While writing this place in A for the second time, Chopin overlooked the slur over the part of the L.H. (cf. bars 29-30). According to us, it can be considered an inaccuracy, hence in the main text we suggest to complete the slur. A similar addition was performed in later GE and EE.

b. 161-162

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

Slur in A, literal reading

Contextual interpretation of slurs in A (→FE→GE,EE)
..

The two-bar slur, written in A in bar 161 (written out) and 162 (empty), is most probably only a signal that in the marked bars 162-191 one has to include the slurring written in the first appearance of this section. Therefore, we limit its range to bar 161 and in bar 162 we repeat the slur from bar 34. This is how the Chopin notation was reproduced in the editions.

b. 167

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

Slur from 1st quaver in A, GE & EE

Slur from 2nd quaver in FE
..

The version of FE is probably inaccurate – see bar 39.

b. 182-183

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

Separate slurs in A (→FE→EE,GE1no2,GE1op→GE2op→GE3op)

One slur in GE2no2
..

Same as in bars 54-55, combining the slurs in GE2no2 is a revision contrary to the Chopin notation.
