b. 71

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor
..
The extra slur under the triplet in A (→GE1→FE→EE) was omitted in GE2 (→GE3). In the context, that slur is just part of the triplet marking and we do not take it into consideration (cf. General Editorial Principles, point 16). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Triplet slurs |

Disregarding the clear notation of A, the slur in GE1 (→FE→EE) begins from the 2nd beat of the bar. That inaccuracy was corrected in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

A has two R.H. slurs in those bars: one above the notes and the other, shorter one - under the notes (it is not clear whether the lower slur is to begin from the semiquaver or from the 2nd beat of the bar). The versions of GE1 (→FE) present the slurs of A inaccurately (the starting point) and erroneously (only one of the two slurs from bar 75 has an ending in bar 76 in a new line). In EE and GE2 (→GE3) the notation was streamlined, with a single slur left. In our opinion, the lower slur of A was written earlier and in the composer's intention it was replaced by the upper slur. Chopin failed to remove the earlier-written slur either accidently or wishing to avoid deletions and erasures that could affect the legibility of the manuscript. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |
