b. 140

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

No c1 in GC & FE (→EE1)

c1 in GE & EE2
..

The absence of the c1 note is most probably a result of the unclear notation of [A]. It is indicated by the comparison with analogous bars 138, 178 and 180. The note was added – most probably on the basis of such a comparison – in GE, which was then repeated in EE2.

b. 140-141

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

Slurs in GC (literal reading) & EE

Slurs in GC, contextual interpretation

Slur in GE
..

The range of the slurs in GC is unclear due to the nonchalant way of their notation, as well as due to the transition into the new line of the text (from bar 141). We consider the division of the slurs at the bar line to be the literal interpretation, as at the beginning bar 141 does not include the ending of the previous slur. Such divided slur is also in EE, based on the base text, in which the slurs were most probably added by Chopin (in this fragment). Therefore, we give the version in the main text. According to us, however, the interpretation of the slurs of GC with division after the 1st crotchet in bar 141 is more justified. The slur of GE is rather an emergency option, not determining the phrasing, than an attempt to reproduce the notation of GC.
