Slurs

b. 53-54

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

Slur to b in A

Slur to c1 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The slur of A, although it does not exceed the bar line, undoubtedly concerns the three notes, hence the interpretation of the editions is certainly erroneous.

b. 55-56

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

No slur in sources

Slur suggested by the editors
..

Starting from bar 51, the part of the L.H. is provided with slurs, even there where a slur of the R.H. can be considered to be applying to both hands (bars 54-55 and particularly bars 56-57). In this situation, we regard leaving it without slur in bars 55-56 as an inaccuracy, which may suggest the use of other articulation than legato in the bass, which would most probably be against Chopin's intention – cf. the slur in the bassoon part in Morch.

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

..

The slur in GE1 reaches only to the bar line. The inaccuracy was not repeated in any other edition.

Slurs in A & GE2

Slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The schematic slurring of GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly erroneous.

b. 57-58

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

Slurs in A & GE2

Slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

Same as in bars 56-57 and in many others, the schematic slurs of GE1 (→FE→EE) reflect rather habits of the engraver of GE1 than the notation of A. However, it should be pointed out that although the slur in bar 57 (last on the page of A) leads clearly to the next bar, it has no continuation in bar 58.
