Slurs

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

No slur in FE (→GE,EE1)
 
..

The reviser of EE2 (→EE3) arbitrarily added a slur for the first two chords in the R.H. (also in analogous bar 250).

b. 174-176

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

 

No slurs in FE (→EE1)

Slurs in EE2 (→EE3)

Our variant suggestion
..

The slurs encompassing two quavers in the L.H. at the transition between bars 174 and 175 and 175 and 176 are present only in GE, in which they could have been added by Chopin. EE2 (→EE3) also have slurs in these places, perhaps under the influence of GE; however, the slurs combine the bottom notes of the dyads and they were arbitrarily added for all double quavers in the L.H. in bars 174-177.

b. 178-179

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

Slur in FE (→EE)
 
..

In FE (→EE), the slur ends with the last note in bar 178. In the proofreading of GE it was extended – most probably by Chopin – to the 2nd semiquaver in the next bar.
