Issues : Triplet slurs

b. 257-258

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

4 slurs in A, contextual interpretation

3 slurs in GE (→FEEE)

2 slurs suggested by the editors

..

In A, Chopin embraced this pair of bars with one slur, which he then clearly divided into two, in accordance with the slurring of similar pairs of bars in the three remaining fragments of this movement of the Concerto, built upon similar phrases (bars 177-182, 353-364 and 494-499). The fact that the division was not included in GE (→FEEE) can be most probably explained by an arbitrary decision of the engraver of GE1.
In accordance with the General Editorial Principlesp. 16, in the main text we omit "triplet" slurs.

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.

Slur from 2nd beat in A

2 slurs in GE

2 slurs in FE (→EE)

Slur from first beat suggested by the editors

..

In the main text we give an extended slur – probably by Chopin together with adding the dnote at the beginning of the bar – in the proofreading of FE (→EE). In turn, we omit the triplet slur added in GE (→FEEE) – cf. General Editorial Principlesp. 16.
