Slurs

b. 260

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

No slur in A (→GE)

Slur in FE (→EE)

..

In the case of the slur appearing in FE (→EE), neither Chopin's authorship nor its meaning are certain – separating the ending of the trill from the next phrase is entirely clear thanks to a new slur in bar 261, not to mention smorzandorallentando and the fermata. Due to this reason, we do not give it in the main text.

b. 261-264

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

2 two-bar slurs in A

4 one-bar slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

1 four-bar slur in GE2

..

In the main text we give the unquestionable two-bar long slurs of A. Both the division of the slurs in GE1 (→FEEE) and their combination in GE2 must be arbitrary changes – a typical manner of the engraver of GE1 and a revision (without any apparent reason) of GE2

b. 293-294

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

Shorter slurs in A (literal reading→GE1FE)

Longer slurs in A (contextual interpretation)

Shorter slurs in both hands in EE

Longer slurs in both hands in GE2

..

The range of both slurs is vague in A – the first does not exceed the bar line, whereas in the second one, one can see a slur over the triplet. This is how they were interpreted in GE1 (→FEEE). However, the slurs in subsequent, identical figures, extended in a few places, prove that Chopin wanted them to reach a crotchet on the 1st or the 3rd beat of bar 294 and analog. each time. We give this interpretation, introduced already in GE2, in the main text. The slurs in the L.H. added in EE and GE2 are an arbitrary revision both in these bars and in the entire section until bar 308 – see the note on bars 297-298.

b. 293-297

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

Slurs under triplets in A

No lower slurs in GE (→FEEE)

..

The slur visible in A under the quaver triplet in bars 293 and 297 was most probably overlooked both in GE1 and in GE2 (it is understandable in bar 293, in which the slur blends into the  sign). We do not convey these slurs in the main text, since they seem to be triplet slurs, which we generally do not include (General Editorial Principlesp. 16), and which could have been left in A by accident. However, it is not a typical situation, hence it cannot be excluded that Chopin indeed envisaged double slurs in this place.

b. 295-304

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

No L.H. slurs in A (→GE1FE)

L.H. slurs in EE & GE2

..

The slurs in the L.H. added in bars 295-296, 299-300, 302 and 304 in EE and GE2 are almost certainly an arbitrary revision. See bars 297-298.
