A slur over the triplet in A

No extra slur in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The extra slurs under the triplets in bars 77 and 81  in A  were omitted in GE(→FE→EE). In the context, those slurs are just part of the triplet markings and we do not take them into consideration (cf. General Editorial Principles, point 16).

The extra slurs under the triplets in bars 79, 83 and 87 in A (GE1→FE→EE) were omitted in GE2 (→GE3). In the context, those slurs are just part of the triplet markings and we do not take them into consideration (cf. General Editorial Principles, point 16).

Slur in sources

No slur, our suggestion
..

As was the case with b. 4 and 23, in the main text we omit the additional slur being a part of the marking of the irregular group – cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16.

b. 82

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II

Slurs in A

Slur in GE (→FE→EE)

Slur suggested by the editors
..

Out of two slurs written in A, in GE (→FE→EE) the bottom was chosen, embracing only the group of small quavers. The choice, compliant with the general approach of the engraver of GE1, is, however, unfortunate, since the bottom slur is only a part of the marking of an irregular group in this context. In the main text we leave the top slur, performing an articulation and phrasing function – Cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16.

The slurs of A

The editors' suggestion
..

The phrase mark begins in  A from the beginning of the bar, also embracing the grace note. A also has another, shorter, slur for the quaver triplet. GE (→FE→EE) only have one slur, beginning from the 1st note of the triplet. We give the phrasing slur of A, omitting the additional triplet slur (cf. General Editorial Principles, point 16).
