Slurs

b. 261

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

Slur from 1st quaver in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur from 2nd quaver in GE3
..

A later beginning of the slur in GE3 is an arbitrary revision, introduced most probably on the basis of the inaccurate beginning of the slur of GE in bar 263.

b. 261-264

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

2 lower slurs in FE (→EE)

No lower slurs in GE
..

The absence of the bottom slurs in GE most probably means that they were added by Chopin in the last proofreading of FE (→EE).

Slurs in GE3

Slurs in FED

In the main text, we include the correction of the phrasing written by Chopin in FED, which we consider rather a proofreading of the erroneously interpreted slur of [A] than a change of the slurring's concept. At the same time, we interpret the fact of the slurs coinciding at the beginning of bar 264, which could also reproduce the notation of [A] inaccurately, as a continuous slur, like it was written in the first element of the progression (bars 239-240). Both in GE1 (→GE2) and GE3, the shorter slur over bar 263 seems to be an inaccuracy.

b. 263-264

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

No upper slurs in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slurs in GE3
..

The missing slurs over the accompanying quaver figures must be considered to be an inaccuracy in this context. The slurs were added in GE3.

b. 277-278

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

Slur to e3 in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur to c4 suggested by the editors
..

According to us, leaving c4 without articulation markings is an inaccuracy, even if it corresponds to the notation of [A]. In the main text, we suggest extending the slur from the previous bar, in accordance with the rhythmic shape of the figuration.
