2 slurs in b. 33-34, our alternative suggestion |
The absence of the L.H. slurs in the second part of bar 33 and in bar 34 could be due to graphic reasons – Chopin probably stopped writing the slur in A in bar 33 after realising that it would be impossible to lead it to the end of the bar due to the 
marks under the R.H. part. In the case of bar 34, a possible slur over the L.H. quavers would have intersected the R.H. dynamic hairpin, which could have hampered the correct interpretation of the manuscript. In the main text we leave the version of the sources, as despite the absence of slurs, the accompaniment is too similar to the previous groups in terms of texture for it to be performed using an articulation other than legato. The slurs in our alternative suggestion are modelled after analogous bar 14 and 16.
