Slurs

b. 66-67

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major
..
The initial section of the slur in bar 67 (the bar that opens a new page in A) may suggest that the slur is continued from the previous page, but no slur begins in bar 66. Nonetheless, in GE (→FE→EE) the slur is drawn from f2 in bar 66. Fortunately, this inaccuracy in reading A proved consistent with Chopin's later corrections of analogous slurs in bars 58-59 and 62-63. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

b. 72-73

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major
..
In GE1 (→FE→EE), the slur in bar 72 reaches up to a flat1 on the 3rd beat of the bar, which is not in line with A. The inaccuracy was corrected in GE2 (→GE3), and another slur was added connecting a flat1 to the minim in bar 73, probably by analogy to the authentic slurring in bars 76-77. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

b. 75

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major
..
In A, the L.H. slur begins far before the 1st note of the bar, as if continued from the previous bar. Yet neither the notation of bar 74 nor the structure of motifs in this section (marked in a fairly unambiguous way) allow for such an interpretation. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

The exact ending point of the slur in bar 80 is not clear in A. Numerous examples of 'embracing' slurs in the entire opus 24 may be an argument for ending the slur on the 2nd quaver of the bar. This is how the slur was reproduced in GE1 (→FE→EE). However, 'pointing' slurs are also present in A, and in this case the context speaks for such understanding the discussed slur in such a way, as :
GE2 (→GE3) have the slur reaching the crotchet on the 2nd beat of the bar. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |
quavers are never separated from the crotchet that follows them;
