Slurs

b. 139-140

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

A phrasing slur in A (→GE2→GE3)

No slur in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The phrasing slur in bars 139-140 can only be found in A (→GE2→GE3). The omission of that slur in GE1 (→FE→EE) is an error probably resulting from the notation of A, in which the slur partially overlaps with the word sempre.

b. 145

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

The slur of A, literal reading

Contextual interpretation of the slur in A (→GE→FE→EE)

Alternative interpretation of the slur in  A
..

In A, the slur begins right after the 2nd quaver, so it is possible that it was meant to begin from the crotchet b flat1. Still, the most probable option is that it was intended to embrace the entire final phrase, and this is how it was interpreted in GE (→FE→EE).
