..
In FE the slur in bar 3 (last one in the line) ends on the last note in the bar. The mistake contributed to the fact that bar 4 was embraced with a separate slur in GE and EE. In the main text we give the only correct and authentic slur of A. In bars 11-12 the version was faultlessly reproduced in all sources. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

The slurs of A in these bars are inaccurate, which was only partially corrected in FE (→GE1). The ambiguity was eliminated in EE and – in a different way – in subsequent GE,s, yet Chopin did not participate in their elaboration. Taking into account analogous bars 14-15, in which Chopin probably corrected the slur, and 38-39, in which he combined the slurs in A, in the main text we suggest a continuous slur from the 2nd quaver in bar 6 to the middle of bar 8. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

In A the bars are not written out, so we repeat here our interpretation of slurs in bars 6-7. The continuous slur in FE (→GE,EE) was probably included by Chopin while proofreading FE (cf. the second paragraph of the remark concerning bars 6-7). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

composition: Op. 10 No 11, Etude in E♭ major

Neither A nor FE allow to determine whether Chopin wanted to lead the slur to the 1st quaver in bar 16 or not. The slur in bar 15 suggests a continuation both in A and FE (→GE1), yet in bar 16 – which in A is the first one written out after the shortcut including bars 10-15 and in the editions the first one in a new line – there is no slur in any of the sources. The first quavers in the bars in the 1st section of the Etude provided with a staccato mark are generally not connected to the pervious slurs, however, in subsequent sections longer slurs prevail. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a slur running to the beginning of bar 16, taking into account the fact that the slur in bar 15 in FE, clearly exceeding the last quaver, could have been written in this form by Chopin. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |
