b. 376-378

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

Slurs from 2nd quaver in A

Slurs from 1st quaver in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

In bar 376 and 378 in the main text we keep the notation of the A slurs, as the comparison with analogous bar 10, 12 and 193 shows that Chopin – although he did not mark it here – most probably envisioned the initial octave to be performed staccato. However, one can understand the engraver of GE, who considered the A notation to be another case of inaccurate slurs (particularly the slur in bar 378, the ending of which is certainly inaccurate).

b. 377

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Short accent in EE

Long accent in GC & FE

No mark in GE

..

The short accent in EE, given the lack of a note to be accented, must an inaccuracy of notation as there is a long accent here in both GC and FE. Lack of accent in GE must be an element of revision based on an assumption that in GC the tie on g was omitted.

Our suggestion

..

Given the apparently inaccurate notation of sources we suggest a slur based on a corresponding phrasing in bars 117-118.
