Slurs

b. 33-35

composition: Op. 25 No 7, Etude in C♯ minor

One slur in GC (→GE)

Three slurs in FE

Foru slurs in EE
..

The Chopin corrections visible in GC allow to state that the slurs of EE are the original version, left in the base text to this edition probably by inattention. In turn, the phrasing of FE, also being probably a result of Chopin corrections, may be considered as an alternative solution with respect to the main text.

Slurs in EE

Slurs in GC

Slurs in GE1

Slurs in FE

Our alternative suggestion
..

Among numerous versions of phrasing of the part of the L.H. only two versions of slurring – FE and EE – may be considered as authentic and complete. GC is compatible with EE, however, it lacks the slur in bar 61, which is undoubtedly an inaccuracy; the slurring was then recreated in GE1, with a minor change in bar 62. In GE2 (→GE3), the missing slur in bar 61 was added, by beginning the slur in bar 62 earlier, which is an arbitrary revision. In the main text we give the unquestionable version of EE, while as an alternative version we suggest the clearly different version of FE, in which we replace the slur in bar 62, perhaps inaccurate, with the slur present in GC and EE.
