b. 232-236

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

No slurs in A

Slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

Short slurs, encompassing pairs of quavers played in one hand position, are written in A only above the first two pairs of four encompassed by one longer slur in bars 232-233, 233-234 and 234-235. Patchy slurring also apply to bars 235-236 – slurs are omitted over 4 out of 7 pairs of quavers. This notation is due not to musical reasons, but to graphic ones – Chopin omitted slurs that would be difficult to write under the octave sign, hoping that those he wrote would be treated by the performers (and perhaps the engraver) as model ones. This observation is confirmed by the notation of A at the transition between bars 232 and 233 – at the end of the line (bar 232), there is no slur under the word loco, but a slur ending can be found at the beginning of bar 233, where nothing makes it difficult to write the slur. For this reason, we add the omitted slurs in the main text, which was already done in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 233

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
..

In IE c1quaver was overlooked in the first half of the bar in the RH part, which is proven by the lack of an augmentation dot on the preceeding crotchet.

In W GE1 (→GE2) most probably as a result of an error E is the last quaver in LH instead of F.

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering

..

The fingering written in FED certainly comes from Chopin.
