b. 4-5

composition: Op. 24 No. 3, Mazurka in A♭ major
..
The slur in A (→GE→FE→EE) ends above the quaver g1 in bar 4. The corresponding sign in AI is ambiguous; the slur end does not cross the bar line, yet the shape of the final (added) section points to f1 in bar 5 as the target note. In the further part of the Mazurka slurs in analogous places are visibly longer: although in bars 8-9 the slur of A is unclear, both AI in that place and A in bars 28-29 and 32-33 have slurs reaching f1. In this situation we consider the notation of bars 4-5 to be inaccurate; this decision finds confirmation in the correction visible in A, consisting in lengthening the slur at the transition between bars 28-29. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

There are no slurs in the L.H. in bars 4 and 8 of AI, Chopin wrote them later in A. We include those slurs in our text, just like it was done in all the first editions. In A, Chopin also added slurs in bars 28 and 32. category imprint: Differences between sources |

Differences in the slur scope are probably the result of Chopin's inaccurate notation in the autograph (or autographs). As all the sources are unanimous in a similar situation found in bars 12-14, we are allowed to consider the slur of GE as best reflecting the composer's intention. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GC |
