b. 27-28

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

Slur in in FC, FE, EE & GE2 (→GE3)

No slur in GE1

..

Lack of slur is a patent error of GE1, corrected in GE2 (→GE3). In FE and EE the slur was placed under the notes, which was certainly an arbitrary decision of the engraver – in both editions the stems of the notes are directed upwards, while the slur was routinely moved to the side of note heads.

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).
