Slurs

b. 276-283

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

No L.H. slurs in A & FE (→EE1)

L.H. slurs in GE & EE2

..

As in bars 109-116, in GE the L.H. part slurs were added, yet this time only under the octave sequences. This arbitrary addition was repeated in EE2 as well.

b. 279-280

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur from quaver to b. 280 in A

Slur from minim to b. 280 in GE & EE

Slur in b. 279 in FE

..

In the main text we provide the unquestionable A slur, compliant with the one present in A in analogous bars 112-113. The GE and EE slurs, although compliant with the potentially authentic FE slur in the mentioned bars, cannot be coming from Chopin. The authenticity of the FE slur with a clearly wrong ending is also questionable.

b. 281-282

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur in b. 281 in sources

Slur to b. 282, our alternative suggestion

..

In the main text we provide the version of the sources, compliant with the slur present in A in analogous bar 114. To an alternative suggestion to the version of the sources we adopted an extension of the slur in bars 114-115, most probably coming from Chopin.

b. 283-286

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

3 slurs from quaver in A, contextual interpretation

2 slurs from quaver in GE1

3 slurs from minim in FE

3 slurs from minim after FE

2 slurs from minim in EE1

2 long, 1 short slur in EE2

1 long, 2 short slurs in GE2

..

The fact that the starting point of the slurs is consistently different suggests that Chopin wrote them independently first in A after [FC] had been finished and then in [FC] or FE1. In both places, in A in bars 285-286 and in FE in bars 283-284, the slurs do not reach the next bar. According to us, these are inaccuracies of notation, while in A it is so obvious that we provide a literal interpretation of this slur only in the graphic transcription. The missing slurs in GE1 in bars 283-284 and in EE1 in bars 285-286 are definitely of an accidental nature. The former was added by GE2, starting from the minim. The slur that was overlooked in EE1 was added by EE2 on the basis of GE1. In the main text we provide a contextual interpretation of the A slurs, consistent with the slurs in analogous bars 116-119. We consider the slurs based on the FE version, with the first slur having been extended, to be an acceptable variant.

b. 285-286

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur from semiquaver in A & GE2

No slur in FE (→EE1)

Slur from dotted quaver in GE1

2 slurs from dotted quaver in EE2

..

In the main text we provide the L.H. slur after the A notation. In GE1 the range of the slur was adjusted to the R.H. slur, and it was in this form that the slur was repeated by EE2, whereas in GE2 the A version was restored. It is difficult to say what the motives of EE2 were when adding another slur of the same range – it could have been, e.g. an unfinished correction in which one of those slurs were supposed to be replaced by the other, yet the stage of removal of the superfluous slur was overlooked.
