b. 123-124

composition: Op. 25 No 5, Etude in E minor

Probable interpretation of slur in FC

Slurs in FE (contextual interpretation) & GE2 (→GE3)

Grace-note slur in EE & GE1

..

Interpretation of the slurs of the L.H. in FC poses a significant challenge due to the  sign written over the slurs. According to us, it is more likely that the slurs are supposed to create one sign. The slurs of FE and GE2 (→GE3) can be considered an alternative interpretation of the notation of FC. The version of GE1 is certainly erroneous; the one of EE probably too.

b. 123-127

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

Slur up to bar 127 in GC (→GE)

No slur in FE

Slur up to bar 123 in EE

Slur up to bar 126 suggested by the editors

..

The ending of the slur is written in the sources inaccurately (in FE there are no slurs starting from bar 121). In the main text we suggest a slur based on the most accurately written slurs of analogous phrases (e.g. FE in bars 85-90 and 93-98).

b. 123

composition: Op. 64 No 1, Waltz in D♭ major

Mark of synchronization in FED

No mark in remaining sources

..

The sign added in FED, indicating the manner of synchronising the grupetto in the R.H. with the accompaniment in the L.H., means that the first 18 notes of the grupetto are to be understood as quaver triplets, whereas the last six – as normal quavers, as in bars 35 and 107. It is unknown whether it was the only performance option accepted by Chopin.

b. 123

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

Slur from 2nd note in A & GE2

Slur from 1st note in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

Starting a slur from the beginning of a bar is a characteristic inaccuracy of GE1 (→FEEE), corrected in GE2.
