Slurs

b. 11-12

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

We give the beginning of the slur after A and EE. In FE and GE1 the slur begins a quaver earlier. GE2 (→GE3GE4) continues the slur from bar 9.

b. 13

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

We assign the ambiguous beginning of the slur in A to the 2nd quaver. It stems from the analysis of the way of writing slurs in the entire A ‒ see A's characteristic. In the editions the slur begins from the 1st quaver. In FE the notation is erroneous ‒ the beginning of the slur is placed too early, as if it continued the slur from the previous great stave.

The slur of FE is certainly erroneous. The source of the mistake may have been unclear notation of the handwritten base in which bar 16 was probably at the beginning of the next page (as in A).

b. 17-18

..

The end of the slur in A is unclear. Despite the prolonged ending of the slur in bar 17, the slurs in A are clearly separated here. Taking into account the characteristic panache of this autograph, we interpret that slur according to the notation in the remaining sources. In FE the slur begins in bar 16.

..

The undoubtedly erroneous interpretation of slurs in A by the engraver of GE1 was corrected in GE2 (→GE3GE4).
