A probable reading of the slur of A |
|
|
|
It is not clear whether Chopin intended the slur in A to apply only to the upper notes of the octaves or to reach further. In GE (→FE→EE), that second option was adopted, and the slur extended to the last quaver. Both versions may be considered as matching the notation of A. The slur for the upper notes only emphasizes the (hidden) two-part aspect , while the whole-bar slur link the end of the previous phrase with the transition to the next one.
