Slurs

b. 150-151

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

2 slurs in A (→EE)

1 slur in GC (→GE) & FE

..

Bar 151 starts a new line in A (→GC), and the literally read slurs, written with impetus, denote one slur over two bars. This reading was reproduced in both FE and GE. Only in EE  each bar is embraced with one slur, presumably on the basis of the comparison with analogous passages – in all seven passages (bars 48-49, 50-51, 56-57, 58-59, 142-143, 144-145 and 152-153) the slurs are separated. Moreover six of the corresponding pairs of bars are written in one line, so that the slurring raises no doubt whatsoever. On this account, we also give separate slurs in the main text.

b. 153-154

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slur in A (→FE) & GE

No slur in GC & EE

..

GC and EE overlook the slur in the L.H. Despite the error of GC, the revisers of GE added the slur after analogous bars 145-146, which do not raise any doubts.

b. 153-155

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Continuous slur in A (→GCGE)

New slur from bar 154 in FE

New slur from bar 155 in EE

..

Discontinuous slurs in FE and EE are probably inaccurate due to the line breaks in A and FE. The engraver of FE presumably reproduced a slur over the last two bars in a line, what corresponds to bars 153-154 in A, but 154-155 in FE. The slurs in EE result most likely from misinterpretation of a slur which is notated over two lines in A.

b. 155

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slur in A (→FE)

No slur in GC (→GE) & EE

..

The lack of slur under the bass progression results most likely from an oversight of the copyist in GC (→GE) and the engraver of EE.

b. 156-158

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slur beyond bar 158 in A

Slur to bar 158 in GC (→GE) & EE

Slur to bar 156 in FE

..

The slur in the R.H. in FE ends in bar 156. It is undoubtedly the editor's revision, as bar 156 opens a new line in FE, while in A it is in the middle of the stave, therefore, an accidental break of the started slur is out of the question.
