Slurs

b. 17-18

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No L.H. slur in EE, GC & FE

L.H. slur in GE

..

GE has a slur added below the L.H. part.

b. 24-25

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE and FE

Slurs in GC (→GE)

..

In the main text we give a single slur embracing bars 21-25, after EE and FE. In that latter edition, there are traces of slur correction made in print - initially the slur ended in bar 24 on the B2-Bminim. GC (→GE) also have the shorter slur, yet it is supplemented with an additional slur linking the two last octaves of the motif. That version, definitely authentic, may be considered an alternative solution.

b. 35-36

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Beginning of the slur in EE & GC (→GE)

Our suggestion

..

Differences between the sources seem to result here from inaccuracy of notation, or even from somewhat imprecise notation of Chopin himself. For that reason we propose a slur modelled after the phrasing in analogous bars 117-118. See also bars 377-381.

b. 51-56

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE and FE

Contextual interpretation of the slur in GC (→GE)

..

The slur of GC is evidently imprecise here – its right end reaches the end of bar 56 (in GE it ends above the 1st crotchet). This suggests that the left slur end may also be shifted to the right. For our main text we choose the concordant and unquestionable version of EE and FE.

b. 64-67

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE & FE

Contextual interpretation of the slurs in GC

Slurs in GE

..

When read literally, the slur in GC (→GE) begins in bar 65. This is most probably connected with the omission of the part of bar 64 in GC, so we disregard that notation. Also, in GC (→GE) the slur is broken between bars 66 and 67, while EE and FE have a single slur from bar 64 to bar 72. In the main text we retain the slur division, as it highlights the structure of the phrase (a new slur for a new eight-bar section).
