Slurs

b. 230

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

The slurring over bars 229-230 is equivocal in the sources – the slur in bar 229 (at the end of staff) points to the continuation but in bar 230 a new slur begins. Comparison with the analogous bars 369-370 shows that Chopin almost certainly intended a continuous slur.

b. 232

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Slur from 1st note in FE (→EE)

Slur from 2nf note in GE
..

The later beginning of slur probably results from an arbitrary revision in GE.

b. 241-242

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In FE (→EE1→EE2), the beginning of a slur continued in the next bar in a new line in the R.H. is missing. The mistake was corrected in GE. In turn, in EE3, the notation is ambiguous – the reviser added a separate slur for the triplet at the end of bar 241 and left the extended beginning of the slur in bar 242.
