Issues : Inaccurate slurs in A

b. 31-32

composition: Op. 26 No 1, Polonaise in C♯ minor

Slur in A (contextual interpretation) & GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5)

Slur in FE (→GE1,EE)

..

In FE (→GE1,EE) the slur ends on the last note in bar 31. In similar bars 5-7, the slur is led to the 1st note of bar 7, which ends the phrase. A possible reason of the slur's shortening in the editions is the inaccuracy of notation of A, in which Chopin ended the slur just before the bar line between bars 31 and 32.

b. 40

composition: Op. 26 No 1, Polonaise in C♯ minor

Slur in A (contextual interpretation) & in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5)

Slur in FE (→GE1,EE)

..

The slur of A, although poorly written, is most probably supposed to begin in the middle of the bar, together with the continuation of the melody of the top voice. However, in FE (→GE1,EE) the slur started erroneously already from the 1st note in bar 40. In GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) an accurate revision was performed, by writing the slur from the beginning of the triplet.
