Slurs

b. 1-2
|
composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I
..
The slur embracing the bass motif, visible in GC (→GE), was probably overlooked by the engraver of FE1 (→FE2→EE1). It was then added in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4), probably as a result of Chopin's intervention. The sign was also added in EE2.

The slur over the part of the L.H. is undoubtedly a Chopin addition introduced in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

b. 5-8

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I
..
The slur over this four-bar section could have been added by Chopin in GC (→GE) or overlooked by the engraver of FE (→EE). It seems to be highly unlikely that Chopin intentionally removed this sign. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections in GC |

b. 9

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I
..
A shorter slur in EE1 is certainly mistaken – cf. subsequent bars. The error was corrected in EE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE |

b. 26-27
|
composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I
..
The oversight of the engraver of FE1 – he overlooked three slurs at the beginning of a new line, similarly as accents – was completed in the later FE, yet inaccurately (a too short 2nd slur in bar 26). In this case, the very careless slurs of GC did not mislead the engraver of GE. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , FE revisions , Inaccuracies in GC |
