Slur from a |
|
|
It is unclear how to interpret the A slur. The comparison with the authentic slurs in bars 28-30, containing very similar figures, suggests that the slur could be starting from the 3rd quaver. Musically speaking, it would be justified to lead the slur to d, which draws our attention to this note, leading to e
at the beginning of the next bar. On the other hand, due to the different structure of the L.H. figuration – a smooth scale sequence running from the beginning of the bar – there is no harmonic stop on a G chord present in the aforementioned bars, hence separating the first 2 quavers no longer makes sense. Moreover, taking into account the fact that the slur is more or less symmetrically placed over the group of 8 quavers, and the A slurs are often inaccurate, one can consider the whole-bar GE slur (→FE,EE,IE) a fully-fledged interpretation of the A notation. In the main text we opt for this interpretation, considering the first one an equal variant.
