Issues : Inaccurate slurs in A
|
b. 293
|
composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
When interpreted literally, the slur of A runs from the 3rd to the 14th demisemiquaver. The patent inaccuracy did not mislead the engraver of GE (→FE→EE), who embraced the whole group with the slur. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A |

..
The slurs of A are not entirely clear; however, it is difficult to assume that Chopin would like to end a slur before resolving the suspension, particularly since a similar measure was present already in the previous bar. In spite of this, GE1 (→FE→EE) includes slurs embracing three notes only, which was corrected in GE2. In the main text we also add a slur in the analogous figure in bar 296. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

In A bar 321 is the last one on the page, which became the cause of the ambiguous notation of the slurs in the R.H. – the slur in bar 322 (on a new page) suggests a continuation from the previous bar, which is not confirmed by the ending of the slur in bar 321. In the main text we assume that Chopin's intention was a two-bar slur, yet the version of the editions, with two one-bar slurs, can also be considered a justified interpretation of A. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

b. 325-327

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
In A bar 325 is the last one on the page. The slur in the L.H. clearly suggests a continuation (similarly as the slur in the R.H.), which, however, is absent on a new page (in bar 326). In GE1 (→FE→EE) the slur was completely overlooked, whereas in GE2 the slur of A together with the overlooked ending was restored. Since this is how Chopin's intention undoubtedly looked like, in this case in the main text we include the slur of GE2. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

b. 326-327

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
When interpreted literally, the slur of A does not exceed bar 326. However, its shape suggests leading it to the beginning of bar 327, which is confirmed by the corrected – most probably by Chopin – slur of GE (→FE→EE). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Authentic corrections of GE , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |
