b. 546-547

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

In FE, the second slur in each of these bars runs from d1 to e1. This inaccuracy almost certainly results from lack of space – due to cramping seven great staves on a page, the space between staves in FE is very small. In GE1 (→GE2), the slur in bar 546 was left unchanged, whereas the one in bar 547 was moved to above the notes; like in the case of the first slur in these bars, the nature of the change (inaccuracy or revision, or perhaps an inaccurate revision) is uncertain. In EE and GE3, the slurs were placed higher, which we include also in the main text.

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

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.
