Slurs

b. 24
|
composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II
..
In the main text, we give two half-bar slurs over the notes, written in A. In GE (→FE→EE) each of them was divided into two parts in the places of division of the semiquaver beams of the part of the R.H. It is certainly an arbitrary change performed by the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

..
The part of the passage performed with the L.H. is provided with three slurs in A, out of which GE1 reproduced only two and FE (→EE) – one. It is hard to assume that Chopin would have commissioned to delete correctly printed slurs: most probably they were overlooked by the engravers. Both overlooked slurs were a part of the indication of the triplets, with the figure 3 related to the slur having also been "lost" in FE (→EE) (the figure 6 on the 2nd beat of the bar was overlooked too). In the main text we reproduce the notation of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE |

..
An earlier beginning of the slur in the L.H. in GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly a result of inaccuracy of the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

b. 27-28

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II
..
It is difficult to say whether the earlier beginning of the 1st slur in bar 27 and both in bar 28 in EE is an inaccuracy or a revision coming from the conviction that the notation of FE is inaccurate. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

b. 29-31

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II
..
The slurs in A begin from the 2nd quaver of each half-bar figure (only the slur in bar 31 may raise doubts). It is unclear how the change of their range occurred in GE1 (→FE→EE): in the case of a few of them one may assume extension of slurs in print (adding slurs in the 2nd half of bar 31 was a patent intervention). Not being certain whether the changes were performed in consultation with Chopin, in the main text we preserve the slurring of A (restored in GE2). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |
