Slurring suggested by the editors |
The slurring of the R.H. in A is inaccurate and unclear:
- it is unknown whether the 2nd slur in bar 42 concerns the demisemiquavers of the solo part or the crotchets of the orchestral part; it cannot be excluded that according to Chopin it performed a double role; in any case, the slur seems to be too short;
- it is unclear whether the slur at the beginning of bar 44 is only a mistake or whether it signalises an idea of extending the slur in the previous bar; we consider the latter to be more likely.
The slurs of A in bar 42 were overlooked in GE1 (→FE→EE); however, in EE parallel slurs on the last beat of the bar were added (it is most probably an editorial revision). In turn, the slur over the demisemiquavers in bar 43 could have been added in GE by Chopin; its beginning is certainly inaccurate, which was corrected in FE (→EE) and GE2. We include the slur, in the version of FE, in the main text, being, apart from that, an interpretation of the slurs of A.
The slur of FE at the beginning of bar 44 is probably erroneous. The slurring of GE2 is a result of an arbitrary reinterpretation of the notation of A.
