Slurs in Ap

..

The slurs in Ap seem to be fragmented and their task is probably only to remind of the legato articulation. Anyway, Chopin did not determine the phrasing here in the version prepared for printing.

The slur written by Chopin in FEcor is the only one featured in the part of the R.H. in the published version of the Etude (overlooked in GE5). In Ap there are many more slurs, e.g., the slur in this bar opens a five-bar fragment provided with slurs.

Slurs in Ap, interpretation

..

We do not include the whole-bar-long slurs of Ap in the main text, being faithful to the version prepared by Chopin for printing. The second of the slurs is most probably miswritten (moved to the left).

Slurs in Ap, contextual interpretation

..

We interpret the slur in bar 29 as a continuation of the clearly dragged slur from bar 28. We consider the remaining slurs to be half-bar-long, although in the photocopies available to the editors of mUltimate Chopin, they seem to be shorter.

Slur in Ap, interpretation

..

The real beginning of the slur in Ap was probably illegibly written, so that it is imperceptible in the photograph.
