Slurs

b. 29-30

composition: Op. 25 No 6, Etude in G♯ minor

Shorter slur in FC (→GE1)

Longer slur in FE & GE2 (→GE3)

Two slurs in EE
..

Lack of ending of the slur in FC (→GE1) is probably an oversight of the copyist – in FC bar 29 is at the end of the line. The divided slur of EE may, however, mean that the slurring in the base text to this edition was unclear too. In the main text we give the undisputed slur of FE (same as in the previous, analogous phrase, the placement of the slur under the notes is certainly an arbitrary decision of the engraver).

b. 36-37

composition: Op. 25 No 6, Etude in G♯ minor

No slur in FC (→GE1)

Slur in FE, EE & GE2 (→GE3)
..

The missing slur over the D-G quavers in FC (→GE1) at the transition between bars 36-37 can be most easily explained with an oversight of the copyist. The slur was added in GE2 (→GE3), most probably on the basis of analogy with bars 40-41, the only in which FC (→GE1) has a slur in a similar situation.
