b. 7-8

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

Slur from e1 in Atut, literal reading

Slur from g1 in Atut, interpretation suggested by the editors

No slur in FE (→EE)

Slur in bar 8 in GE
..

In Atut, it is unclear from which note the slur begins. When interpreted literally, it seems to be encompassing three notes, from the e1 semiquaver. However, according to us, the shape of the line suggests that Chopin started writing it earlier, yet the ink did not flow out immediately. From the musical point of view, it would be a slur beginning already from the c2 quaver that would be most natural; however, reluctant to excessively intervene in the graphic image of music, in the main text we suggest a slur from the note that directly precedes its visible ending.
The missing slur in FE (→EE) is most probably a result of the engraver's oversight. In GE, a slur was added after the authentic slur in the L.H.
