No slur in AI & FE (→EE)

The missing slur seems to be an inaccuracy of notation of AI and FE (→EE) here.

Long accents in AI, FE (→GE1→GE1a)

No marks in EE2

Short accents in EE3 (→EE4)

 in GE2 & GE4 (→GE5)

 in EE3
..

In GE2 the accents were replaced with short  marks, which were extended in GE3. All these and later changes (in subsequent GE,s) are a result of arbitrary interventions of the engravers or revisers. EE2 omits the accents, which is one of a numerous errors of this type present in this edition. The marks – in the form of short accents – were added in EE3 (→EE4).

b. 39-44

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

Two slurs in AI, contextual interpretation

24 slurs in FE (→GE1→GE1a)

25 slurs in GE2 (→GE3)

26 slurs in GE4 (→GE5)

34 slurs in EE2

40 slurs in EE3 (→EE4)
..

AI has in these bars only first two slurs in the R.H. in bar 44. The slurring of FE (→GE1→GE1a) is much more complete, yet also in these editions several slurs, which could be expected in the comparison of analogous fragments, are missing. In EE – and to a lesser extent – in the subsequent GE the slurs were gradually completed. According to us, all defects seem like an inaccuracy of notation, hence in the main text we suggest to generalise the slurs of FE in each analogous places, which was already applied in EE3 (→EE4).
