Slurs

b. 30-31

category imprint: Differences between sources

b. 33-34

composition: Op. 10 No 9, Etude in F minor

No slurs in AI & A (→FE→GE1→GE2)

Slurs in EE

Slur in GE3 (→GE4)

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

We suggest complementing slurs analogously to motives in bars 29-30, partly added by Chopin while proofreading FE (→GE,EE). The sign in bar 33 was added in GE3 (→GE4) while EE has slurs in both bars.

b. 38-42

composition: Op. 10 No 9, Etude in F minor

..

The slurs in bars 38 and 42 start already over rests. In this context such a notation could not correspond to Chopin's intention.

b. 47

composition: Op. 10 No 9, Etude in F minor

..

In this bar in A there is a visible extension of the slur, so it embraced the entire sequence of quavers in bars 46-47 and the minim in bar 48.

b. 56

composition: Op. 10 No 9, Etude in F minor

Less likely reading of slur in AI & A (→FE→GE,EE)

More likely reading of slur in AI & A
..

Both in AI and A the slur beginning in this bar may be understood as embracing only the semiquavers or the entire motif. In FE (→GE,EE) it was the first possibility that was adopted, while according to the editors of mUltimate Chopin, it is the second one that is more likely – cf. bar 28.
The mark in AI is the only slur written in this manuscript from bar 37.
