Slurs

b. 5

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

 
 
 
..

In A the end of tie reaches the next bar. We consider it to be an inaccuracy of notation due to the obvious phrase structure and consistent slurring in almost each out of 11 analogous bars.

b. 9

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

According to us, the beginning of the slur, inaccurately placed in A, includes the 1st note of the motif. In the editions the slur begins a quaver earlier. In EE the slur runs until the end of bar 10 and in GE2 (→GE3→GE4) until the end of bar 12.

b. 10

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

The beginning of the slur is placed differently in the sources. EE and GE2 (→GE3GE4) continue the slur from bar 9: EE until the end of bar 10 and GE2 (→GE3GE4) until the end of bar 12. A has a new slur written from the 2nd quaver, whereas in FE and GE1 the slur begins on the 1st held quaver. We adopt A's notation.

In A Chopin drew the end of the slur until the very end of the bar. We consider it an insignificant for the content graphic detail, as the tenuto of the d2 crotchet is indicated by the tie.

b. 11

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

According to us, the more probable is such an interpretation in which the beginning of the slur includes the 1st note of the marked motif. In GE1 the slur was interpreted in a different manner: it begins a quaver earlier. EE has a similar slur, which may also comply with A's notation. FE is lacking the slur, while in GE2 (→GE3GE4) the slur which started in bar 9 runs until the end of bar 12.
