b. 139-142

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

Continuous slur suggested by the editors
..

The four whole-bar slurs of the sources, if they correspond to the notation of [A] at all, in this context mean only legato articulation. Longer slurs, especially of irregular shape, were then replaced by shorter ones, easier to engrave. Musically unjustified divisions also occurred in manuscripts, e.g. between lines. Taking into account the above, in the main text we encompass the entire passage with one slur in order not to suggest divisions, whose position and number could be accidental.
