b. 117-118

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

Slur from a1 crotchet in A, literal reading

Slur from quaver in GE (→FE,IE)

No slur in EE, interpretation

..

As was the case with the R.H. slur beginning in bar 117, one could assume that the A notation is inaccurate. It results from the very clear harmonic structure of this fragment, in which the four-quaver groups starting on weak beats constitute a sequentially repeated dominant-tonic combination, which determines phrasing already at the level of motifs. Therefore, in the main text we suggest the GE slur (→FE,IE), in spite of it being probably a result of a mistake in the interpretation of A, and not of a harmonic analysis, as in A the initial fragment of the slur is poorly visible, since it blends in with the stave. In EE only the ending of the slur was printed (in bar 118, in a new line), which we interpret as no slur.

In the main text we omit the inauthentic R.H. part fingering added by EE in bar 118 and 120.

Slur divided after 3rd quaver in A, literal reading

Slur divided before 3rd quaver in A (con­textual interpretationGEFE,EE,IE)

..

When interpreted literally, the A slurs are divided after the 3rd quaver in the bar. The comparison with analogous bar 131, 133 and 135 reveals that the notation is inaccurate. Therefore, to the main text we adopt the interpretation introduced by GE (→FE,EE,IE), in which the slur is divided before the 3rd quaver in the bar.

b. 119-120

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

In A the majority of accidentals to the top notes of even quavers is missing – the only one is the  raising f3 to f3 in bar 120. The remaining five necessary accidentals were added by GE (→FE,EE,IE).

Slurs suggested by the editors

..

In the main text we suggest supplementing L.H. slurs after authentic markings in the majority of similar motifs in the previous bars. Such slurs were already added by GE (→FE,EE,IE).
