Issues : Authentic corrections of GE

In the main text we leave the notation of A, without the slur in the L.H. The slur of GE (→FE→EE), perhaps added by Chopin in the proofreading of GE1 and compliant with the authentic slur in analogous bar 34, can also be considered to be compatible with Chopin's intention. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

In the main text we give the slurs of A, which do not raise any doubts concerning both the sources and music. However, the version of GE may be considered at least to be equal:
The arguments for the adoption of the notation of A are as follows:

It is difficult to say whether the division of the slur in FE (→EE) is a consequence of a mistake of the engraver of FE or whether the slurs were corrected in GE1 in the last phase of proofreading, already after having sent the copies to Paris. In the main text we give the only authentic version of A (→GE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of GE |

The absence of the bottom note in GE1 (→FE→EE) may be considered an oversight of the engraver of Chopin's proofreading – in similar bar 48, there is a sole a2 as the grace note. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of GE |

According to us, the slur of A ending in bar 396 is inaccurate – see bars 52-53 – hence in the main text we lead it to the beginning of the next bar, in accordance with the slurs of flute I and clarinet in Morch. The authenticity of the slur added in GE (→FE→EE) in bars 397-398 is also questionable – its beginning is contrary to the phrasing that naturally follows from the instrumentation. Therefore, we do not include this slur in the main text. However, taking into account a possibility of a Chopinesque proofreading of GE1 in this place, we suggest a slur started a crotchet later as an alternative solution – the Chopinesque entry could have been misinterpreted by the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources |
