Issues : Inaccurate slurs in A

b. 2-3
|
composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major
..
The slur in A ends in a manner that allows for two interpretations. In GE (→FE→EE), that slur was considered to end on the last note of bar 2. In our opinion, it should extend to a flat1 at the beginning of bar 3. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

composition: Op. 27 No 2, Nocturne in D♭ major
..
The extent of the slur is not precisely marked in A. In GE (→FE→EE) the slur was read as ending in bar 4. In our opinion, it is more probable that Chopin intended it to reach the beginning of bar 5 (cf. the remark at the end of bar 2). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

In the sources, bar 7 begins a new line of text; in such situations it is difficult to decide in Chopin's autographs whether the slur is to be treated as a new sign or a continuation of the previous one. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

A carelessly drawn slur in A was interpreted in GE (→FE→EE) as applying only to a group of small notes. In our opinion, it is more probable that Chopin intended a longer slur here. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

The slur in A is written inaccurately. For the edited text we adopt the interpretation of GE (→FE→EE), which may have been accepted by Chopin. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |
