Slurs

b. 88-92

..
The proposal of the main text refers to the slurring of GC (→GE), appearing most often in analogous phrases. The version of EE may be considered to be an equal variant. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Authentic corrections of EE |

b. 96-100

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II
..
The division of the slur of EE into two parts is most probably related to the graphical layout used in this edition, in which, from the 2nd beat of bar 98, the part of the R.H. is written entirely on the top stave. The slur, in turn, concerns above all the melodic progression, in bars 99-100 performed already by the R.H. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of EE |

b. 104-108
|
composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II
..
In this phrase, the slur in GC (→GE) begins on the 2nd beat of bar 104, which, in spite of concordance with EE, we consider to be an inaccuracy, as in other similar situations, the slurs in GC generally start from the beginning of the bar. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

b. 117-121
|
composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II
..
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. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , EE inaccuracies , Authentic corrections of EE |

b. 123-127
|
composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II
..
The ending of the slur is written in the sources inaccurately (in FE there are no slurs starting from bar 121). In the main text we suggest a slur based on the most accurately written slurs of analogous phrases (e.g. FE in bars 85-90 and 93-98). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in GC , Authentic corrections of EE |
