Issues : Inaccurate slurs in A

b. 456-457

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

Slur to g2 in A (literal reading→GE1FEEE)

Slur to f2 in A (contextual interpretation) & GE2

..

In A, the ending of the slur in bar 456 suggests continuation, yet in bar 457 (on a new page), there is no ending of the slur. GE1 (→FEEE) adopted a literal interpretation of this detail. In the main text we lead the slur to the last note of the two-bar sequence of triplets. GE2 interpreted the notation of A in a similar way.

Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

..

In A, it is difficult to say where the slur in the L.H. in bar 456 is supposed to reach. When interpreted literally, it leads to the last chord in this bar, yet in bar 457, on a new page in A, there is an ending of a slur from the previous page. In GE (→FEEE), both slurs were combined in one, which has to be considered a possible interpretation (it also seems to be likely that the slur was added in its entirety in the proofreading of GE1). However, according to us, it is the contextual interpretation including the authentic slurs in bars 416-417 and 424-425 that is more likely, and these are the slurs we give in the main text.

Slur from 2nd beat in A & GE2

Slur from first beat in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

GE1 (→FEEE) interpreted the slightly inaccurate slur of A to be starting from the beginning of the bar, which is certainly a mistake.

2 slurs from 2nd beat in A, contextual interpretation

2 slurs from first beat in GE1 (→FEEE)

3 slurs from 2nd beat in GE2

..

Both slurs in these bars are written in A inaccurately – their endings do not reach the crotchets in bars 459 and 461, although they point to them quite clearly. A comparison with analogous bars proves that they are almost certainly to be interpreted considering not only their position in relation to the bar lines. GE1 (→FEEE) interpreted only the second of them in this way; moreover, both start from the 1st beat in bars 458 and 459, which is a mistake. The division of the slur in bar 460 is an arbitrary change introduced in GE2 (just like in the three previous analogous places).

Double slur in A & GE2

Single slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

GE1 (→FEEE) omitted the top slur, perhaps due to its atypical shape, resulting from corrections. The mark was added in GE2 together with top slurs in all similar figures.
