Two slurs in GC (→GE)

Interpretation of slurs in GC suggested by the editors

Slur from bar 276 in FE

Complement to slur in FE

Slur from bar 273 in EE

Another interpretation of slurs in GC

Beginning the slur of GC (→GE) in bar 275 is most probably a mistake – cf. the slur of FE, beginning one bar later. However, the intention of the writer could have been combining this slur with the slur in bar 273. We include this possibility also due to the slur of EE, which is most probably a result of Chopin's extension of the slur of FE2 in the base text to EE. While the idea of embracing all the discussed bars with one slur does not raise any doubts, the moment of starting the slur could be misinterpreted by the engravers of EE (cf. the note on analogous situations in the middle section of Scherzo). The suggestion of completing the version of FE results from the conviction that the omission of the slur in bar 273 was not intended in this edition. Except for the first of the aforementioned versions, each of the remaining ones can be considered to be corresponding to Chopin's intention on a certain stage of shaping the notation of this phrase.
