Slurs

b. 39-50

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor
..
We preserve the layout of FE1, in which the slurs embracing the passages of the L.H. are over the notes, which certainly recreates the notation of [A1]. In FE2 and EE the slurs were moved under the notes, most probably due to graphic problems. Therefore, we can suppose that the slurs under the passages in GE also do not follow the authentic notation in [A2]. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , EE inaccuracies |

..
In FE1 (→EE), despite the transition to a new page, the slur in bar 62 is a continuation of the slur in bar 61. However, in FE2 the slurs are separated, which is certainly a mistake. GE has a continuous slur. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |

b. 62-65

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor
..
The slurring in bars 62-63 may be considered as authentic both in FE1 and GE. The first of them were then recreated in FE2 and EE, yet with a change of layout – slurs in bars 63-65 are placed below the notes. According to the editors, it is highly unlikely that it follows Chopin's notation. On the basis of that, it may be supposed that also the slurs in GE, which are running under the notes, were placed over the notes in the autograph. In the main text we give the alleged notation of [A2]. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Placement of markings , GE revisions , FE revisions |

b. 66
|
composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor
..
According to us, the end of the slur in FE1 is printed inaccurately; the slur in bar 67, which is in the next line, suggests to continue the slur from the previous bar. However, both in FE2 and EE it was the scope of the slur in bar 66 that was assumed as the correct one. Moreover, in those editions the whole sign was moved under the notes, which is almost certainly contrary to the notation of [A1]. The slurs of GE present probably a slightly different version of this place in [A2]. The version of EE2 is a compilation of the notation of EE1 and GE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Placement of markings , FE revisions |

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor
..
The slurs in the R.H. have three version in the sources, out of which only one – the continuation of the slur from bar 66 – is authentic, according to us. Due to the need to coordinate the versions of the slurs with the versions of the rhythm in the 1st half of the bar, the slurring variants are considered in the remark concerning rhythm. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , FE revisions |
