Slurs

b. 82

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II
..
Out of two slurs written in A, in GE (→FE→EE) the bottom was chosen, embracing only the group of small quavers. The choice, compliant with the general approach of the engraver of GE1, is, however, unfortunate, since the bottom slur is only a part of the marking of an irregular group in this context. In the main text we leave the top slur, performing an articulation and phrasing function – Cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Triplet slurs |

..
The slur embracing in A bars 83-84 (with upbeat) was inaccurately reproduced in GE1 due to the transition into a new line. Both in FE (→EE) and GE2 the inaccuracy was removed, by adjusting the correct 1st part of the slur (in bars 82-83) to the erroneous slur in bar 84. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , FE revisions |

The half-bar slurs in the editions – the first in bar 83 and both in bars 85 and 90 – are almost certainly a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1, who apparently did not take the Chopin slurs too seriously, perhaps considering them to be written carelessly. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

..
Same as in analogous bar 15, the slur embracing the bass motif, added in GE1, most probably comes from Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

According to us, the slur in A is an example of a slur-tenuto, encountered on a number of occasions in Chopin's autographs. In the editions, the ending of the slur, dragged too far, was considered inaccurate. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Tenuto slurs |
