Slurs

b. 172-175

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE, FE & GE

Slur in GC

..

The slur in GC – as is the case in bars 166 and 182 – does not go beyond the bar line. However, the end of the slur here is clearly closer to the chord in bar 175 than that in bar 174, which was the reason why in GE it was interpreted as reaching the 1st beat of bar 175, in line with the remaining sources.

b. 180-183

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE and FE

 
..

In GC (→GE) the slur ends above the last chord of bar 182. This is most probably an innacuracy, as in bars 166 and 174.

b. 187-191

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

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

Slur in GE

..

Just like in preceding bars, a slur in the L.H. was arbitrarily added in GE, with the scope corresponding to the scope of the authentic slur in the R.H.

b. 200-203

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE

No slur in GC (→GE)

Slur in FE

..

EE is the only source in which the slur for this phrase is in line with its musical sense and with slurring in numerous similar phrases. In FE the slur only reaches the chord in bar 202 and runs under the chords, which is a routine change of the graphic layout employed by engravers. In GC (→GE) the slur was omitted.

Slurs in EE & FE

Slurs in GC, possible contextual interpretation

Slurs in GE

..

The interpretation of slur beginnings in GC is as difficult here as it was in the case of bar 159 and analogous bars – the slurs begin on the first crotchet. Only in bar 219, the last one in the system, the slur is missing altogether which is doubtless due to oversight, as the slur in 220 suggests continuation. In GE, three out of four slurs begin on the quavers (and also slurs were added for the L.H.). In our main text we give the slurring of EE and FE, as it is both convincing and error-free.
