Slurs
b. 74-75

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I
..
It is difficult to determine what led to the difference in slurring between GC (→GE) and FE (→EE). The notation of [A] could have been ambiguous, e.g. between the lines. In the main text we give the continuous slur of GC, since there is no visible musical reason to disrupt this rhythmically homogeneous, smoothly descending sequence. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Embracing slurs , EE inaccuracies |

The divided slurs in GE are probably an incorrect interpretation of the slurs of GC between the lines – although the beginning of the slur in b. 79 is harder to see in the copy, there is no doubt that the slur was meant to be continued. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Inaccuracies in GC |

The interpretation of the top slur in GC is not straightforward. In this rhythmical context, its leading to the final semiquaver seems natural. However, this would produce a concurrence of slurs on that semiquaver, which the notation of GC does not suggest, and what does not occur in any other source. It is therefore possible that the slur has a double meaning – similarly to the sign – it indicates the tenuto of the dotted minim e2 as well as pertains to the suspension in the accompanying voices. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Inaccuracies in GC , Tenuto slurs |

..
The notation of this bar is an example of Gutmann's carelessness, who would sometimes put other signs and slurs more or less accurately, without controlling their actual compatibility both with [A] and the music sense. The slurs were partially repeated in GE1 and corrected only in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Errors of GC |

The slurs of GE are certainly erroneous. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |
