Slurs

b. 76-77

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major

Slurs in  A (→GE1)

FE

EE and GE2
..

In the main text we give two motivic slurs visible in A (→GE1): over the R.H. and under the L.H. In FE, the L.H. slur was moved to the note head side, thus becoming a tie. In the editors' opinion this is due to the engraver's mannerism, not the result of Chopin's correction. In EE and GE2 two more slurs were arbitrarily added, one for each hand, and as a result a flat is also sustained in those two editions.
