No slurs in A & GE2

Slur in GE1

Slur in FE (→EE)

Slurs suggested by the editors

The absence of the slur (slurs?) separating the solo bassoon phrase in A seems to be Chopin's inadvertence. GE1 has a slur in the 2nd half of bar 204, in which one can see the Chopin proofreading. However, certain arguments show that the addition should be subject to caution – it can be an attempt at an interpretation of the tie of e1, which was not printed in GE1 (it was taken so in GE2, by removing the slur in the 2nd half of the bar and adding a tie). In FE (→EE) the beginning of the slur adopted from GE1 was printed a crotchet too early, which, theoretically, could also come from Chopin, particularly that the fragment of the melody embraced with the slur is to be performed by the R.H., and the slur separates this part from the bottom stave in a certain way (the original layout does not suggest such a division between the hands, since the entire phrase is written on the bottom stave). As the authenticity of the version of the editions is uncertain, in the main text we suggest slurs written in the bassoon part in Morch, close to the authentic phrasing of the motif that was used here (e.g. in bars 41-42).
