End of slur in GC (contextual interpretation→GE) & FE (→EE), contextual interpretation |
In bar 16, the first in a new line, in FE (→EE) there is no ending of the slur started in bar 15, which is a patent mistake. We reconstruct the overlooked ending on the basis of analogous bars 24, 70 and 78.
The ending of the slur in GC, interpreted literally, may be interpreted as a "tenuto-slur," frequently used by Chopin. However, the comparison with a similarly ended slur in bar 18 proves that the shift of the ending of the slur beyond the chord in the middle of bar 16 is probably only a writing manner, devoid of significance. In the main text, we give a slur ended in a conventional way, in accordance with GE and the reconstructed version of the remaining editions.
Similarly in bars 23-24, 69-70 and 77-78.
