Slurs

b. 109-116

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

No L.H. markings in A & FE (→EE1)

Slurs & staccato dots after GE

Slurs & staccato dots after EE2
..

In GE in these bars separate articulation markings were added for the L.H., modelled on the respective marks – slurs and staccato dots – for the R.H. part (only the slur and the dot in bars 112-113 were overlooked). This addition cannot be authentic, despite being justified in terms of content, since there are no doubts that the phrasing and articulation of both hands must be compliant. The additions were repeated in EE2, in which a number of inaccuracies occurred – the slur in bars 110-111 and the staccato dots in bar 114 and 116 were overlooked, and the slurs in bar 111 and 115 were shortened, reaching only the last quaver in the bar.

b. 112-113

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur from quaver in A (→GE)

Slur from minim in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we give the A (→GE) slur. The longer FE (→EE) slur, probably also authentic, can be regarded as an equal variant.

b. 114-115

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur over triplet in A (→GE)

Slur from minim to crotchet in FE (→EE)

Slur from triplet to crotchet, our alternative suggestion
..

In the main text we give the A (→GE) slur, the same as in analogous bar 281 in all the sources. The FE version probably resulted from Chopin's correction, hence the extended slur may be considered an equal variant. Our alternative suggestion is a compromise between the possibly authentic extension of the slur to the next bar (in accordance with the majority of the slurs in this section) and the beginning of the slur according to A, compliant with the majority of the autograph's analogous slurs in this fragment.

b. 119-120

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur in A (→GE)

No slur in FE (→EE)
..

The missing slur in FE (→EE) is most probably a mistake by the copyist or by the engraver.

b. 121-122

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur in A (→GE), FE & EE2

No slur in EE1
..

The missing slur in EE1 must be an oversight, corrected in EE2 after comparing it with GE1 (the e1 crotchet was also added at the beginning of bar 122, removed in FE – see the next note).
