b. 197-199

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

Slur in A & GE2

Slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The slurs of GE1 (→FEEE) are a characteristic example of a schematic approach to slurs – two whole-bar slurs were printed instead of the precisely written Chopin phrase mark.

b. 197-198

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

No L.H. slurs in A

2 slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

1 slur in GE2

..

The slurs in the L.H. added in GE1 (→FEEE) are most probably inauthentic – the division on the bar line (after the slurs in the R.H.) certainly is not in line with Chopin's intention. Assuming that a possible Chopin proof entry in GE1 was implemented inaccurately, one could consider the slur of GE2 to be in line with his intention. However, it would be then obscure why Chopin did not order to correct the slurs in the R.H. at that time.

b. 197

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

Continuous slur in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Separate slurs in FED & GE3

..

The unbroken – in spite of the rest – slur of FE (→EE,GE1GE2) must be a remaining part of the original version of the rhythm (with semiquavers without rest). The need to separate the first two notes from the following semiquavers was confirmed by Chopin with additional marks written in pencil in FED – a slashed line, underlining the significance of the rest (also in bar 201), as well as a slur over the first two semiquavers. Taking that into account, in the main text, we divide the slur, adjusting the phrasing to the rhythmic notation.

b. 197-201

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

In FE, the visible traces of proofreading in bars 197, 199 and 201 (as well as 556) show that Chopin changed the rhythmic values of the 2nd and 3rd notes – in the removed version, the 2nd note was a semiquaver, whereas the third one – a demisemiquaver.
