Slurs

b. 126-127

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

2 slurs in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur suggested by the editors

..

The notation of the sources is unnecessarily complicated – cf. the practically equivalent notation in bars 128-129. According to us, it may be a result of an inaccurately reproduced or simplified correction – for example, the slur in bar 127 could have been added in [A] as an extension of the previous one, which, however, was misinterpreted in FE, or could have been added in the proofreading of FE as a simplified correction of a too short slur in bar 126.

b. 127-128

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No slur in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur suggested by the editors

..

A comparison with similar motifs in bars 125-126 and 129-130 suggests that the missing slur is probably an inaccuracy of notation.

b. 129

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Slur in FE (→GE)

EE2 (→EE3)

..

The slur, inaccurately reproduced in EE1, was revised in EE2 (→EE3) by adding a second one, which makes the slurring resemble the one that the sources contain in bar 127.

b. 133

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In EE1, there is no ending of the slur on a new line. The mistake was corrected already by the reviser of EE2.

2 slurs in FE (→GE,EE) – possible interpretation

Slur suggested by the editors

..

In FE (→GE,EE), the slur begins from the 1st note of bar 138, in spite of the fact that at the end of the previous bar (a line above) the slur clearly points to a continuation. In two previous similar places (bars 113-114 and 121-122), the slur over the bar line is combined and separated, respectively. Interestingly, in FE, it is exactly the same when the theme returns – a continuous slur in bars 265-266, a separated slur in bars 273-274 and an ambiguous one in bars 289-290. However, in the case of the latter, the slur begins on the last quaver of the bar, which practically excludes an interpretation other than a continuous slur. In the case of the discussed bar, it also allows us to tip the scales in favour of a continuous slur.
