Slurs

b. 24

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

Slurs & wedge in A, interpretation

Slurs in FE

Slurs in GE & EE

Our alternative suggestion

..

In the main text we give the articulation (slurs, without staccato sign) in the 1st half of the bar on the basis of FE, which was probably proofread by Chopin. The reason why the earlier start of the slur (from the 1st note) introduced in this edition was reproduced neither in GE nor in EE remains a mystery. An alternative suggestion with a shortened slur in the 2nd half of bar 23 refers to analogous slurs of FE in bars 24-25.

b. 24-26

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

Slurs in A

FE (→GE,EE)

Our alternative suggestion

..

The slur in A in the 2nd half of bar 24 undoubtedly reaches the 1st note in bar 25. Also the relevant slur in bar 25 (the last one in the text's line) suggests a continuation in the following bar, in which, however, it does not end. In the editions the first of the slurs was omitted, which is a patent error, while the second embraced only five last semiquavers in bar 25, which is probably the laziest way of interpretation. Due to the changes of slurs and articulation at the beginning of these bars, we suggest two unified slurrings to choose from: longer slurs in the main text (at the same time, it is the most probable interpretation of A) and shorter ones as an additional possibility.

b. 24-25

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

No slur in A (→FEGE,EE2)

Slur in EE3 (→EE4)

Slur suggested by the editors

..

We suggest to add a slur on the basis of the analogous situation in bars 28-29, in which Chopin wrote a relevant slur in A.

b. 25-26

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

Slurs in A

FE (→EE, →GE1GE2)

GE3 (→GE4GE5)

..

In A the slurs running from the beginning of these bars reach g3, which we give in the main text. In FE (→EE,GE1GE2) the slurs are shorter, which, according to us, is a result of the engraver's inaccuracy. In GE3 (→GE4GE5) the slur in bar 25 was extended.

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

Slur in A

Slurs in FE (→GE,EE)

In the main text we include the slurs embracing the progression of the bass voice introduced by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE).
