Slurs in GC

Slur in FE

Slur in GE & EE

Slurs suggested by the editors

The slurring of the sources raises doubts here. In FE all slurs starting from bar 121 were overlooked. The slur of GC abruptly ends in bar 117, yet the shape of the ending suggests a continuation. Perhaps it made the engraver of GE combine this slur with the next one in bar 121, which cannot be rationally explained. The identical slur in EE is most probably a result of Chopin proofreading of the base text to this edition, however, also in this case one can assume an inaccuracy, as the part which was added in EE (bars 120-123) is linked with the previous slur, yet it does not reach the last note of the current phrase. In the main text we give the most credible elements of the notation of FE (the slur ending in bar 120) and GC (the new slur from bar 121). The continuous slur of EE may be considered to be an alternative solution, perhaps authentic.
