Slur in GC (literal reading→GE1)

 

The slur in GC is written very inaccurately – "boldly" – so that in GE1 it embraces also the first and last crotchet of the bar. It certainly does not correspond to Chopin's idea – cf. inaccurate slurs of GC in bar 10, where the editor did not fall into the trap, and bar 12, where he tried to interpret the dragged slur of GC. See also bars 7-8 or 79-80, as well as, e.g., the Scherzo in C minor, Op. 39, bars 344-347.
