Slurs

b. 85
|
composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
The divided slur in the sources is, according to us, a result of an inaccurately drawn extension of the slur in A. Initially, the slurs embraced only the irregular groups on the 4th crotchet in bar 84 and in the 2nd half of bar 85. Chopin then extended the first of the slurs, but he did not drag him to the beginning of the second one. In an analogous situation in bars 92-93, A combined the slurs in an unquestionable way. (Cf. also continuous slurs in bars 83 and 91). category imprint: Interpretations within context issues: Corrections in A |

..
The half-bar slurs of GE1 (→FE→EE) are a typical example of schematic thinking of the engraver of GE1. Accurately marked slurs of A were restored in GE2. See also the note at the beginning of the bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

..
The first slur in the R.H. would reach in this bar to the very beginning of the next one, which was clearly crossed out by Chopin in A. The slurs of GE (→FE→EE), eventually compliant with the corrected slurs of A, were initially different – there was no division of the slur in bar 88 – which is indicated by visible traces of corrections. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information |

b. 93

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
In spite of a clear combination of original slurs in A, put over irregular groups, in GE (→FE→EE) the slur is divided more or less in the middle of the bar (in EE the beginning of the second slur was moved, with a reason in this situation). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Corrections in A , Errors in GE |

b. 93
|
composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
Same as in analogous bar 85, leading the slur to the end of bar 93 is a characteristic inaccuracy of GE1, which, in this case, included also the beginning of the next bar. Inconsistency with A is even more striking, since Chopin modified both slurs in the manuscript and the result of the corrections does not raise any doubt. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Corrections in A , GE revisions |
