Uniformed slurs suggested by the editors |
It is difficult to guess Chopin's intention concerning the beginnings of the slurs in bar 45, 47-50 and 58-59. In A they start over the 2nd, 3rd or 4th quaver in the bar (and in bar 58, which we discuss separately, even over the first one). However, there are no musical reasons to differentiate between them, hence in the main text we average them out, writing all of them from the 3rd quaver, which corresponds to the beginnings of characteristic motifs, starting from a fourth, in their basic form. According to us, the versions of the editions do not contain any authentic elements – they recreate the A notation as understood by the GE engraver and copyist and then, respectively, the engravers of FE (through [FC]) and of EE (on the basis of FE).
