Slur from 2nd to 7th quaver, our alternative suggestion |
The range of the slur A raises doubts. While the end of the slur can be safely regarded as imprecise, the moment of its beginning is not clear, if we take into account the notation of bars 10, 12 or 193. For this reason, we consider two possibilities probable, of which we propose a whole-bar slur for the main text, because the situation in neither this nor the following bars is fully analogous to the aforementioned bars of the main theme of the finale, and it is not certain whether Chopin wanted to suggest here the separation of the initial octave (cf. the similar-looking slur in bar 362, in which the texture does not suggest separation). This is also how it was reproduced in GE (→FE,EE,IE).
