Slurs

b. 33-43

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

No slurs in A (→FE→GE,EE3)

11 slurs in EE4
..

The whole-bar long slurs are an arbitrary addition of the reviser of EE4. Cf. bars 5-14.

b. 35-36

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

Slur in A (→FE→GE,EE3)

EE4
..

The slur of A (→FE→GE,EE3) reaches only the last quaver in bar 35. In the main text we suggest a slur modelled on the slur Chopin extended in A in analogous bars 2-3. A similar modification was already introduced in EE4.

b. 36-37

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

No slur in A (→FE→GE,EE3)

Slur in EE4
..

We suggest to add a slur on the basis of analogy with bars 3-4, in which Chopin added a relevant slur, while proofreading FE. The addition was already performed in EE4.

b. 39

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

No slur in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The slur was added in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE), undoubtedly by Chopin.

b. 41

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

Slurs in A

No slurs in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The notation of the next line, overlapping with the slurs under the pairs of chords in the L.H. in A, was certainly a reason for their omission in FE (→GE,EE).
