Slurs

b. 58-59

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Separate slurs in A (→FE,GCGE)

One slur in EE

..

The combined slur in EE results most likely from a mistake or misunderstanding of the script of A.

b. 62

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slur in A (→FE,GCGE)

No slur in EE

..

Lack of slur in EE may result from an inaccurate interpretation of the abbreviated notation of A. Cf. bars 61-62.

b. 64-67

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slur in A (contextual interpretation→FE)

No slur in bars 65-67 in GC

New slur from bar 66 in EE

4 slurs in GE

..

In both manuscripts a new line of text starts from bar 65, resulting in inaccurate or erroneous notation of L.H. slurs. In A the end of slur in bar 64 clearly indicates continuation which is not confirmed by the beginning of slur in bar 65. In GC the slur ends in bar 64 and is not continued in the subsequent bars. The engraver of FE was not mislead by the inaccuracy of A. However, it probably caused an error in EE which starts a new slur from a new line (from bar 66, closely resembling bar 65 beginning a new line in A). GE amended the GC version by adding separate, bar-long slurs in bars 65-67 (probably generalising the slur written in GC in bar 68).

b. 64-67

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slurs in A

No slurs in GC (→GE) & FE

Slurs in EE

..

GC (→GE) and FE overlook the slurs in the R.H. in bars 64-67 (and further). In EE the slur was divided in the middle of bar 67, probably analogously to the authentic slurring in bar 65. In the main text we give the slurring of A.
