b. 552-559

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

6 shorter, 2 longer slurs in A

4 shorter, 4 longer slurs in FC

3 shorter, 5 longer slurs in FE

4 shorter, 4 longer slurs in FC

5 shorter, 3 longer slurs in EE

8 shorter slurs in GE2 (→GE3)

8 longer slurs, our alternative suggestion
..

In A the slurs over the characteristic quaver motifs generally encompass only the quaver groups in these bars (the only exception are the slurs in b. 554-555, reaching the crotchet at the beginning of the next bar). The remaining sources do not show traces of Chopin's influence on the range of those slurs. Therefore, taking into account the fact that the discussed figures are identical, in every respect, in the main text we unify the slurs, giving always the ones Chopin wrote in A more often. Such a solution was also adopted in GE2 (→GE3). Alternatively, we also suggest 6-note slurs, which are more frequent in similar motifs in the entire Scherzo.
