Slurs

b. 55-56

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

No slur in the sources

Our variant suggestion

..

Lack of the slur in A (→FEGE,EE) is probably a result of Chopin's distraction due to the transition to the new line – in the identical motif one bar before, the slur is present. However, Chopin could have differentiated between the indications of these motifs on purpose, which would be indicated by the use of a longer accent and wedge on B

b. 56-57

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

Slurs in A

Slur in FE (→GE1GE1a) & EE3

Slurs in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) & EE4

..

In bar 56 the earlier start of the slur in FE (→GE,EE; overlooked in EE2) seems to be an inaccuracy of the engraver, in spite of the fact that it is compatible with – according to us, apparently – lack of tie of f1. In turn, lack of the slur in bar 57 in FE (→GE1GE1aGE2GE3) is almost certainly a mistake.

b. 56

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

Dots in AI

Wedge & slur with dot in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)

..

The staccato dots on the 2nd and 3rd quavers visible in AI is the original version of the articulation, replaced in A by a slur and a dot. Moreover, in A Chopin provided the first quaver in the bar, B, with a wedge. Lack of both staccato signs in the editions is probably a mistake, yet it could have been accepted by Chopin.

b. 60-61

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

Slur in AI

Slur & dot in A

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)

..

The extension of the slur in FE (→GE,EE) is almost certainly a result of Chopin's proofreading, hence we adopt this version to the main text.

b. 63

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

Slur in AI & EE3 (→EE4)

Two slurs in A

No slurs in FE (→GE,EE2)

..

In the main text we give two slurs written in A and overlooked – together with the accent – in FE (→GE,EE2).In EE3 (→EE4), certainly by analogy with bar 2 and 10, one slur was added.
(The version of AI is repeated from bar 10).
