Slur in Atut (→FE)

Slurs in GE & EE

Slurs suggested by the editors

In Atut (→FE), the slurring of the bass motifs is less accurate here than for the first time (bars 99-102) – the slur encompasses only the quavers in bar 111. According to us, it was caused by the fact that bar 111 is the last one on a page of Atut – while finishing that page, Chopin entered a slur under the part of motif he saw and, due to haste, forgot about the slurs on the next page. It also seems that the slur encompassing the first 3 quavers was the original idea – the shape of the slur in bars 99-100, written first, suggests that Chopin decided to lead it further, to the crotchet, only at the moment of writing it. Taking that into account, in the main text, in bars 111-114, we suggest such slurs as in analogous bars 99-102. In GE and EE, the shorter slur in bar 111 was kept and a similar one was added in bar 113.
