Slurs

b. 70

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

No slur in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE

..

Lack of the slur over the 2nd half of the bar in A is certainly Chopin's oversight, corrected in FE (→GE,EE).

b. 72

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Slur in A, literal reading

FE (→GE,EE), interpretation of A

..

It seems that the slur in A is written inaccurately, thus in the main text we give the interpretation adopted in FE (→GE,EE).

b. 75

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Slur in A, literal reading

FE (→GE,EE), interpretation of A

..

It is unclear whether the slur in A embraces the entire bar or only the last two notes, thus emphasising the expressive gesture of suspending the phrase. Despite the fact that the second possibility seems to be musically attractive, in the main text, on the basis of the analysis of the slurs' notation in this section of A, we suggest the interpretation adopted in FE (→GE,EE).

b. 77-80

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Slur in A, literal reading

Interpretated slur in A (→FE→GE1), and slur in EE & GE2 (→GE3GE4)

Our suggestion

..

The slur in A in bar 77, the last in the line, suggests a continuation in the next bar, yet there is no relevant slur in bar 78. In FE (→GE1) the ambiguous ending of the slur was reproduced, which was already avoided in EE and subsequent GE,s (the slur ends on the last semiquaver). In the main text we give the slur after the slur in analogous bars 79-80, probably added by Chopin at the time of proofreading FE.

b. 78-79

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Slur in A (probable interpretation) & FE (→GE,EE

Another interpretation of the slur in A

..

The moment of the slur's beginning in A is unclear, hence we suggest two possible interpretations.
