Slurs

b. 0-4
|
composition: WN 55, Waltz in F minor
..
In the majority of the sources, there are two slurs within bars 1-4: the first one spanning bars 1-2, the second - bars 3-4. The beginnings and endings of the slurs were written imprecisely. AR includes one slur spanning bars 1-4. In CY, the absence of the second slur, within bars 3-4, may be considered a copying inaccuracy. Due to the repetition of the c2 note at the beginning of the Waltz in AE (→CX) and CC, the first slur begins in the upbeat. A similar situation occurs in CY, however, due to the upbeat, we put the beginning of the slur in the 1st bar, contrary to the notation of the copy. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

In the variants of phrase marks, we take into account only the ones coming from Chopin's autographs and copies of autographs. The phrase marks in FEF and GEF are short; generally, they do not span more than one bar. Their authenticity is questionable - they must be Fontana's revision. In rare cases when a phrase mark of FEF and GEF overlaps with the phrase marks of the autograph/copies, we record this fact next to the relevant variant-miniature. #CF (on the preserved page) and PE do not feature phrase marks.

..
Generally, in the sources we encounter 3 variants of slurs within bars 5-12: CC features two slurs written in bars 5-8 only. The first spans bars 5-7, whereas the second - bar 8. It may be a result of such an interpretation of the aforementioned binding of two slurs in AE by the copyist of a base text, unknown to us, of CC (the closest to the notation of AE). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

In the majority of the autographs and in CX and CC, there is one slur within bars 13-17. The ending of the slur is imprecise: Chopin did not drag it to the b category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

The slurs in the autographs are written inaccurately, imprecisely. We assume the most possible interpretations. All slurs begin in the same place, in bar 17. The following variants of slurs from bar 17 to the 1st volta are possible: In the editorial versions of the sources in which the slur includes the 1st note in the 1st volta, i.e. AO, AR, AE, CX, we lead the slur also to the 1st note in the 2nd volta. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |
