Slurs

b. 1-2

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

No annotations in CLIFE (→GE,EE

Slur in FES

..

The line, added with panache in FES, may be interpreted as a slur underlining the legato articulation or phrasing.

b. 5

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

No slur in CLI & FE (→GE,EE2)

Slur over L.H. in EE3 (→EE4)

..

The slur added in EE3 (→EE4) is probably an arbitrary addition of the reviser of EE, who took into consideration the authentic slur in analogous bars 53-54. Situations, in which analogous places differ in performance indications, are very common in Chopin's pieces. It does not always mean that Chopin wanted to underline the diversity of their performance (e.g., in this case non legato in bars 5-6 and legato in bars 53-54). The lack of a slur may be considered here as a suggestion of a smoother, more homogenous phrasing of the entire eight-bar section.

b. 30-31

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

No slurs in CLI, FE (→GE) i EE3 (→EE4)

Slurs in EE2

..

In EE2 the octaves in the L.H. in these bars are linked with ties. It is probably a mistake – the ties were supposed to be put one line above as ties sustaining the G1-G octave in bars 27-28. The assumption is confirmed by a joint review of both places in EE3 (→EE4): the ties in bars 30-31 were removed and added in bars 27-28.

b. 35-37

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

No annotations in CLIFE (→GE,EE

Slurs in FED (interpretation)

..

In FED the added not entirely clear signs may be interpreted as slurs, e.g., reminding of the legato articulation or underlining the dynamic change and beginning of the new phrase in bar 37.

b. 53-54

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

No slur in CLI & GE3 (→GE4GE5)

Slur in CLIFE (→GE1GE2, →EE

..

The authenticity of the slur of FE (→GE1GE2,EE) is undeniable. Lack of the sign in later GE,s is most probably a result of an oversight.
