Slurs

b. 79-87

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

A slur under the triplet in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

Triplet slur absent in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The extra slurs under the triplets in bars 79, 83 and 87 in A (GE1→FE→EE) were omitted in GE2 (→GE3). In the context, those slurs are just part of the triplet markings and we do not take them into consideration (cf. General Editorial Principles, point 16).

b. 85-86

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

The slurs of A

The editors' suggestion
..

The phrase mark begins in  A from the beginning of the bar, also embracing the grace note. A also has another, shorter, slur for the quaver triplet. GE (→FE→EE) only have one slur, beginning from the 1st note of the triplet. We give the phrasing slur of A, omitting the additional triplet slur (cf. General Editorial Principles, point 16).

b. 89-91

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

The slurs of  A (interpreted in context)

Literal reading of A (→GE1→FE→EE)

Another slur added in GE2 (→GE3)

The editors' proposed version
..

In A, the course of writing was interrupted both between bars 89-90 (by the deleted fragment) and between bars 90-91 (by passing on to a new line of the text) .This has caused unclear and unnecessarily complicated notation of the slurs.
