b. 377-378

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

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

Our suggestion

..

Given the apparently inaccurate notation of sources we suggest a slur based on a corresponding phrasing in bars 117-118.

b. 393-398

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE & FE

Contextual interpretation of the slur in GC (→GE)

..

It is apparent that the slur in GC is imprecise - it ends on the end of b. 398 (b.56), which was rightly corrected in GE by extending it over to the first crotchet. This diminshes GC (→GE) credibility and raises doubts as for the slur's beginning as well. Therefore, in the main text we adopt the consistent version of EE and FE.

b. 406-409

Slur in EE & FE

Contextual interpretation of the slurs in GC

Slurs in GE

..

The slur, when read literally, in GC (→GE), only begins in b. 407. This must come from an error in bars 64 and 406, so we do not take this notation into account. As for the two variants of slurring in bars 408-409, in the main text we emphasise the prase structure and introduce a break in the slur (new slur for a new eight-bar).

b. 414-416

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE and FE

GC (→GE)

..

Slur in GE (→GE) seems imprecise, which is confirmed by the consistent versions of EE and FE.

Slur in EE

Slurs in GC, literal reading

Contextual interpretation of GC (→GE), and FE

..

In GC the slur extends as far as b. 445, which in this context must be considered inaccurate the same as in GE. This too long and imprecise slur may have occured already in [A1] as EE has a slur that results most probably from misinterpreting the composer's intention. In the main text we present slurring of FE and GE.
