Slurs in Amar

Our suggestion

..

The differences in the slurring in the sources based directly on [A] – GC and FE – do not let an unanimous reproduction of the version of the Stichvorlage autograph. The version suggested in the main text is one of the possible reconstructions of the notation of [A], including a cgrace note, added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE3 and in the base text to EE. The remaining versions of the sources, although they are most probably inaccurate, can be considered to be possible interpretations of this notation. The version of Amar is also worth paying attention to, undoubtedly authentic and natural, as far as the musical aspect is concerned.

b. 65-66

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt III

Two slurs in GC (→GE)

Two-bars slur in FE (→EE)

..

The two-bar-long slur in FE (→EE) is most probably inaccurate – in bars 11-12 the same notation of [A] was interpreted differently, as two slurs. If the slurs in [A] had a similar range to these visible in GC, the engraver's doubts may be considered to be justified. At the same time, it is an indication that in bars 7-8 and 61-62, it is probably the slurs of FE that are inaccurate.
