Slurs

b. 304

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

Slurs in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur in GE3

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the division of the slur reproduced in the sources is inaccurate, which is facilitated by such configuration. A possible interruption of legato would require shortening f3, written as a quaver, whereas the accented beginning of the slur (b2) would interfere with the long accent on the next note, g2. Therefore, in the main text we suggest modifying the slurs, eliminating the above defects, which is confirmed by the slur in analogous bar 288. The slur of GE3 must be arbitrary, although it is possible to justify it as having been modelled after the authentic slur in the previous bar.

b. 305-306

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

Slurs in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slurs in EE

Slurs in GE3

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest adding a slur on the 1st beat of bar 305 on the basis of a comparison with the next bar. A longer slur in bar 306 is most probably an inaccuracy of EE. The whole-bar slurs in GE3 are probably modelled after the slur in bar 289.

b. 306-307

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

No slur in FE (→EE1→EE2, →GE1→GE2)

Slur in GE3 & EE3

Same slur suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest adding a slur after analogous bars 290-291. The slur was added already in EE3 and GE3.

b. 307

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

Slur over chords in sources

Slur to inner voice suggested by the editors
..

Like in bar 291, in the main text we lower the slur, so that it points to the motif of the middle voice, f2-e2.

b. 307

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

..

Like in analogous bars 293-296, Chopin proofread the slurs in the L.H. in these bars, which is proved by the traces of corrections visible in FE. A two-bar slur replaced two slurs encompassing bar 307 and the last 2 beats of bar 308.
