Slurs

b. 157-158

Bar 157 is a third in a row in which GE1 (→FE→EE) has a whole-bar slur contrary to A, although in this case the inaccuracy is justified by careless notation. The division of the slur in A at the transition between bars 157 and 158 has a minimal impact on the vision of phrasing in this case. Both inaccuracies were corrected in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

..
The staccato dot and the slur, which specify the articulation within the last phrase of this period in A, were replaced in GE1 (→FE→EE) with a slur over the group of quavers. According to us, the change cannot come from Chopin, and it is certainly one of numerous obvious inaccuracies in the reproduction of slurs by the engraver of GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The slurs, added both in EE and – to a lesser extent – in GE2, are certainly inauthentic. The slur in bar 162 can be considered to be justified in the light of the authentic slur in identical bar 166. According to us, in this context, the difference can suggest a slightly different performance, e.g. a more pronounced crescendo, hence we preserve the differentiated notation of A in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

Beginning a slur from the second note of the bassoon motif is certainly an inaccuracy of GE1, repeated in all subsequent editions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

In the main text we reproduce precisely the notation of A, since it seems to be unlikely that Chopin would like to combine these slurs in one – see bars 171-172. The version of GE (→FE) can be considered to be an acceptable interpretation of the notation of A. The version of EE, unified with the notation of analogous bars 172 and 174, adopted from FE, must be – in the light of the notation of A – considered erroneous. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE |
