Slurs

b. 128

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I
..
The A slur having been led only to the 6th quaver in the bar is musically unjustified. This is confirmed by the comparison with similar figures, e.g. in bar 126. Due to the above, to the main text we adopt a slur led to the 7th quaver, as in GE (→FE,EE,IE). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

b. 130

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I
..
Due to the reasons discussed in the note on bar 124, in the main text we provide a slur whose range we adopt from the remaining analogous bars. We consider the version of the sources, also musically justified, to be an equal variant. The A slur could have been extended by Chopin, yet it is an isolated incident among a few analogous situations. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Corrections in A |

b. 131-138

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I
..
In the main text we do not include the slurs added by GE (→FE,EE,IE), although they certainly correctly describe the motifs' articulation. At this point the articulation is clear (following bars 115-121), and it is likely that by writing two slurs only Chopin wanted to emphasise the significance of the motifs provided with them, ending the two-bar phrases. See also bar 138. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

b. 135-139
|
composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I
..
In A Chopin did not finish the slur he started writing in the preceding line in bar 135. It must be an oversight, hence in the main text we lead the slur to the beginning of bar 139, after a similar phrase in bars 119-123. The editions considered the ending of the slur in bar 135, suggesting that it should be continued, to be inaccurate, as a result of which it was led only to the last quaver in bar 135. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Uncertain slur continuation |

b. 138

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I
..
It is difficult to consider the last of the slurs added by GE (→FE,EE,IE) – cf. bars 131-138 – to be justified, particularly when it comes to it having been written from the 1st crotchet in the bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |
