Slurs

b. 27-28

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

Slur in A (→FEGE) & EE3 (→EE4)

No slur in EE2

..

The slur of A was inaccurately reproduced in FE, as the part falling on bar 27 (the last in the line) was omitted. Perhaps it contributed to its omission in EE2. The sign was added in later EE,s.

b. 28

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

Beginning of slur in A (→FEEE2EE3)

GE & EE4

Our suggestion

..

By shortening the slur, the engravers of GE and EE4 probably considered the slur of FE as inaccurate. In the main text we try to render the plausible sense of the literally interpreted notation of A (→FEEE2EE3) in a possibly legible way.

b. 29-31

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

More likely reading of slurs in A

Less likely reading of A (→FEGE,EE)

..

In the main text we give the interpretation of ambiguous slurs of A compliant with Chopin's proofreading of the slurs in FE in analogous bars 25-27. In FE (→GE,EE) both slurs were interpreted as embracing only the 2nd halves of bars 29 and 30. According to us, the interpretation may be considered as an equal variant in relation to the main text, as Chopin, in a sense, authorised it by adding staccato dots in bar 30.
