Slurs

b. 437-438

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

Slur from a in FE (→EE) & GE3

Slur from f1 in GE1 (→GE2)
..

The earlier beginning of the slur in GE1 (→GE2) is most probably an inaccuracy, corrected in GE3.

b. 437-438

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

Slur in FE (→EE)

Slur in GE1 (→GE2)

Dots & slur in GE3

Slur suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest beginning the slur earlier than in the sources due to the slur in the L.H. and slurs in analogous bars 412-413. The earlier ending of the slur in GE1 (→GE2) is most probably inaccurate, whereas the staccato dots added in GE3 are an arbitrary revision.

Slurs in FE (→GE1→GE2)

No slurs in GE3

According to us, both beginning the slur only just from the 2nd beat of the bar and the gap at the transition between the bars look like accidental inaccuracies that are probably related to the layout. In FE, and most probably also in [A], the b-c1 ​​​​​​​semiquavers opening the passage are written on the bottom stave, which hampers the placement of the beginning of the slur (it was considered an inaccuracy already in EE). In turn, the division of the slur could have resulted from, e.g. the transition into a new line. In the main text, we give a slur modelled after the unequivocal slur in analogous bars 434-435. The absence of slurs in GE3 must be regarded as a mistake – it was probably an oversight or an unfinished revision.

b. 441-442

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

Slurs to end of bar 441 in sources

Longer slurs suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest slurs from the beginning of bar 442 in both hands due to the consistent slurring of the analogous phrases in bars 416-424.

b. 443-444

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

Slurs to bar 444 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Shorter slurs in GE3
..

As in many other places, GE3 shortened slurs in the parts of both hands, separating the quavers ending the phrase from the preceding semiquavers.
