Slur from A |
The fact that the A slur starts from the 3rd quaver in the bar most probably results from the difference in the direction of stems and beams – as Chopin wanted to write a slur on the side of noteheads, he omitted A
, which is pointing upwards.
The musically unjustified rupture of the slur before the end of the passage is most probably also due to a graphic reason – a slight gap between the parts of both hands at the end of the bar. This is how it was assessed in the editions, in which, however, the slur was led only to the end of the bar, which can be considered an acceptable variant (except the arbitrary EE version, perhaps accidental).
