Slurs in GE1 (interpretation) |
|
|
Bar 220 is the last one on the page in A and there is no slur leading to the next bar. However, the finishing of such a slur is written at the beginning of bar 221. We assume that Chopin meant a slur he put in an analogous situation two bars earlier. The incomplete slur of A was precisely reproduced in GE1, yet a second one was added in bar 220. According to us, it is likely that the addition comes from Chopin and it was aimed at indicating – approximately, in order to avoid corrections of the already printed elements, due to the engraver's convenience – the slur embracing a1-b
1-c1. This is how it was understood in FE (→EE), but not in GE2, in which only one slur was left, which can also be considered to be another interpretation of the notation of A.
