Slurs

b. 106-109

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
When interpreted literally, the slurs of A in the ending of bars 106 and 108 do not reach the quavers at the beginning of bars 107 and 109. Both the shape of the signs and the logic of the musical course make it to be an inaccuracy of notation. This is how it was interpreted in GE (→FE→EE), although in the case of bars 106-107 it was most probably a fortunate coincidence – see the previous note. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A |

Same as in analogous bar 105, the slur added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→EE) may be interpreted twofold. We also suggest an alternative notation, modelled after the notation of EE in bar 105. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

..
The slurs over the pairs of chords at the transition between bars 109 and 110 and 110 and 111 were overlooked or inaccurately reproduced in the majority of the editions. GE1 includes a slur under notes in bars 110-111. It is uncertain whether it is a misread slur introduced by Chopin in the proofreading of GE1 as a tie of f. In FE (→EE) there are no slurs mentioned above, whereas GE2 restored the notation of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The notation of A is inconclusive on whether the slurs are to be separated between the bars. The slur in bar 110, the last one on the page, reaches beyond the bar line, although it is not clearly visible due to ending ink. A possible continuation of the slur is rather not confirmed by the slur in bar 111, which, although running high over the first semiquavers, suggests with its shape the beginning of a new sign. According to us, both interpretations are equal and in the main text we adopt the solution clearly written in an analogous situation one bar earlier. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
The slur over the first two semiquavers, visible in A, was overlooked in the editions: the engraver of GE1 may have considered it an insignificant, accidental touch of quill. According to us, such a possibility is viable, hence we do not include it in the main text. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A |
