  b. 105

No slur in A (→GE)

Slur in FE, literal reading

Slur in EE

Slur in FE, interpretation suggested by the editors

The slur under four quavers was undoubtedly added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→EE). However, the notation of FE does not clearly state whether the slur is actually supposed to concern the quavers of the top voice or of both; in other words, whether it is to start from the tied a quaver or from the e minim. In EE the slur was moved over the quavers, which, although graphically contrary to Chopin's notation, seems to be a skillful solution of this dilemma – the slur concerns the top voice, but it embraces the bottom one too. We suggest this solution as an alternative one in analogous bar 107.
