Slur with tenuto ending in A

Slur in GE2

In the main text we give the slur of A, marking the range of the phrase, with a characteristic ending indicating a necessity of an accurate hold of the last long note (slur-tenuto). Two whole-bar slurs of GE (→FE, repeated inaccurately in EE) deprived the Chopin slurring of all nuances. GE2 generally restored the Chopin slur (without the extended "tenuto" ending).

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

1 slur in A

2 slurs in GE (→FE→EE)

Same as in the previous bars, dividing the slur of A into two parts was an arbitrary decision of GE (→FE→EE).
