Issues : Inaccurate slurs in A

..
Each of four slurs in the L.H. written in A embraces the entire bar, despite the fact that due to the inconvenient graphic layout, the notation is not always precise. In FE (→EE2) only two out of them were recreated, in bars 2-3.

The inaccurate and unclear slurs of A were ignored in FE (→GE,EE). Their range, particularly in the case of bar 3, is uncertain. We do not include them in the main text, as Chopin did not repeat them in A and in analogous bars 10-11 and 42-43, nor did he add them in a proofreading of FE (cf. bars 47-49). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A |

Two slurs in A are clearly shorter than their counterparts in bars 1-2, however, there is no doubt that it is a result of a less careful notation. In FE (→GE,EE) it was understood in the same way, yet only the second slur, in bar 10, was reproduced.

The slur of A in bar 39 unanimously suggests a continuation, which is, however, not confirmed in bar 40, on a new page, where the slur is missing. In FE the slur was correctly reproduced in terms of graphics, yet it is hard to assume that Chopin had such a slur in mind. Both in GE and EE the slur was extended in such a way to dissipate the doubts concerning its scope. We suggest a different interpretation. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

The vague mark in A may be interpreted as a slur. It seems that Chopin went out of ink at the time of writing, however, he did not take care of a discernible notation in A, nor did he add the slur while proofreading FE. Therefore, we do not include this mark in the main text. In EE3 (→EE4) a whole-bar long slur was added under the semiquavers. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccurate slurs in A |
