Issues : Tenuto slurs

..
The longer slur of FE (→EE) is most probably a result of an erroneous interpretation of the slur reaching the end of bar 36 in [A]. Chopin would use this kind of tenuto slurs on numerous occasions. The supposition is confirmed in Chopin proofreading of FE3 in the corresponding place of the recapitulation – see bar 224. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Tenuto slurs |

..
Both notations of the slur in bars 145-146 – GC (→GE) and FE3 (→FE4) – mean generally the same, yet the notation used in FE accentuates the necessity of holding the full rhythmic value of the chord in bar 146, which is often not observed in the case of the last note under the slur. Chopin would often use this notation, cf., e.g., 1st mov., bar 176, the Etude in A minor, Op. 25 No. 4, bar 50, in C category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of EE , Tenuto slurs |

The slur added – most probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4) clearly shows that according to the composer's intention, it was not supposed to reach the next bar. The longer slur of EE may be considered in this situation an inaccurate interpretation of the slur added in the base text by Chopin (cf. bars 36-37) or an editorial revision on the basis of the analogous place of the first section of Scherzo. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE , Tenuto slurs |
