Slurs

b. 200

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

No slur in FE (→EE)

Slur in GE
..

The missing slur must be due to Chopin's inadvertence or the FE engraver's oversight (→EE). The slur added in GE could be coming from Chopin, yet such an addition could have also been performed by the reviser.

b. 203-206

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

Slurs from 2nd to 4th semiquaver in FE (→GE,EE)

Slurs over whole motifs suggested by editors
..

As in bars 199-200, we consider the FE slurs (→GE,EE) to have resulted from a misinterpretation (except the second one in bar 204). The slurs suggested in the main text are based on a possible reconstruction of the [A] slurs.
