Slurs

b. 3-4

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor
..
We present the literal interpretation of the slurs included in A, however, there is no doubt that Chopin considered this notation to be equal to one slur, as in bars 1-2. A similar hesitation, concerning the choice of space for leading the slur, is visible also in bars 41-42. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , Authentic corrections of FE |

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor
..
We give the slurring of the figures in the L.H. in bars 9-10, 15 and similar in the entire Etude only in the standardised version, despite the fact that some of the slurs are inaccurately written. The regularity of the texture and a great number of repetitions of similar figures deny the intentionality of considering these minor divergences in transcriptions. Cf. the remark concerning dynamic hairpins. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

In A lack of the slurs over the motifs in the R.H. in bars 10-11 and 12-13 probably means that the slur over the second motif was added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). Lack of a similar addition over the first motif could be explained with the transition to a new page, which in FE falls exactly between bars 10 and 11, yet in a similar situation in analogous bars 20-23 the slur over the first motif was also omitted. In spite of this, in both places we consider the lack of the slur as an inaccuracy of notation and we suggest suitable additions in the main text. The slur in bars 10-11 was already added in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

..
In A the slur in bar 17 (the last one on the page) suggests a continuation, which is, however, not confirmed by the slur in bar 18. FE (→GE,EE) includes separated slurs. Taking into account the fact that the slur in bar 18 in A is evidently inaccurately written, we assume that Chopin's intention in this place was most probably one slur until the end of bar 18. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context |
