Slurs

b. 115-123

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

No slurs in sources

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

As in bars 43 and 51, the missing slur in bars 115 and 123 is most probably an oversight. Therefore, in the main text we suggest slurs after bars 11 and 19.

b. 120

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

..

In the main text we add a slur after analogous bars 16 and 48, since its absence here almost certainly resulted from inattention – see bar 115.

b. 122

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

No slur in PE

Slur in GE
..

The missing slur in PE is one of a few defects in this fragment of the Waltz (see bar 115). In the main text we add a slur, as it was performed in GE.

b. 139-142

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

Continuous slur suggested by the editors
..

The four whole-bar slurs of the sources, if they correspond to the notation of [A] at all, in this context mean only legato articulation. Longer slurs, especially of irregular shape, were then replaced by shorter ones, easier to engrave. Musically unjustified divisions also occurred in manuscripts, e.g. between lines. Taking into account the above, in the main text we encompass the entire passage with one slur in order not to suggest divisions, whose position and number could be accidental.
