Issues : Inaccurate slurs in A

In A the end of the L.H. slur in b. 6, which closes the line, clearly points to continuation, which is, however, absent in b. 7. In this case, it did not result in discrepancies in the remaining sources, since both FE (→EE) and FC (→GE) led the slur to the beginning of b. 7, undoubtedly in accordance with Chopin's intention. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Source & stylistic information |

In Atut, it is unclear from which note the slur begins. When interpreted literally, it seems to be encompassing three notes, from the e1 semiquaver. However, according to us, the shape of the line suggests that Chopin started writing it earlier, yet the ink did not flow out immediately. From the musical point of view, it would be a slur beginning already from the c2 quaver that would be most natural; however, reluctant to excessively intervene in the graphic image of music, in the main text we suggest a slur from the note that directly precedes its visible ending. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

The significant difference between the slurs of CJ and CK suggests that one of them is probably inaccurate (or both). In the main text we adopt the slur of CJ, which is a natural continuation of the slur in b. 5-6. In our interpretation, the slur of CK encompasses the entire 2nd half of the bar. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

Bar 7 is marked in A (→FC) in an abridged manner as repetition of b. 6. It brings into question the slurring, since the slur over b. 8 begins in A before the end of b. 7, which suggests that it should be combined with the preceding slur, which, in fact, is not written out. In FE (→EE) the slurs are not combined; however, since both the range and the shape of the slur in b. 8 suggest that it should be continued, in the main text we encompass these bars with a continuous slur. The slur of FC, although generally very similar to the slur of A, does not imply continuation, hence the motif in b. 8 in GE is encompassed with a separate slur. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

A carelessly drawn slur in A was interpreted in GE (→FE→EE) as applying only to a group of small notes. In our opinion, it is more probable that Chopin intended a longer slur here. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |
