Slurs

b. 64

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

..

AI lacks the first slur (in bar 11). 

category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources

b. 64

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

No slur in AI & A (→FE→GE1,EE2)

Slur in GE1a (→GE2→GE3→GE4→GE5) & EE3 (→EE4)
..

The attempt to complete the indications over the 2nd half of the bar may be considered as justified in a situation where the only authentic indication – a long accent – was overlooked in FE (→GE,EE).

b. 65

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

Slur in A, contextual interpretation

Slur in A (→FE→GE,EE)
..

According to us, only the beginning of the slur is written inaccurately in A. In the editions, the entire sign was moved to the left, which is hard to be considered as the correct interpretation.

b. 65-66

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

No slur in AI & FE (→GE,EE)

Slur in A
..

The missing slur is almost certainly one of numerous inaccuracies of FE (→GE,EE).

b. 66

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

No slurs in AI & FE1 (→GE1,EE2)

Two slurs in A, FE2 & EE3 (→EE4)

One slur in GE1a (→GE2→GE3→GE4→GE5)
..

In the main text we give two slurs written in A and added then in a proofreading of FE2, as they were overlooked in FE1 (→GE1,EE2); see the adjacent note. The striking absence was corrected both in the subsequent GE, by adding one slur by analogy with bar 5, and in EE3 (→EE4), in which two slurs were added.
