Slurs

b. 82

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
Like in bars 78-79, the original phrasing of Atut was changed in the proofreading of FE, most probably by Chopin. In this case, however, the result of the proofreading is unclear – the slurs are placed imprecisely; one can have doubts whether Chopin actually wanted the slurs on the 2nd crotchet in bar 82 to interlock. At the same time, the second slur is placed less carefully than the first one, hence a proofreading of the beginning of this slur seems to be more justified than a proofreading of the ending of the previous one. It is this version, analogous with bar 78 and introduced already in GE3, that we adopt in the main text. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

b. 92

..
The earlier ending of the slur in GE could be considered a mistake – an oversight of a part of the slur falling on bars 93-94, placed on a new line of text. However, if this were the case, the slur in bar 92 should indicate a continuation, like it is in FE. Therefore, ending this slur with the last semiquaver of the bar suggests that the slurring was changed on purpose, although it is difficult to find a reason for such an action. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

It is unclear how the oversight of a part of the slur, encompassing these bars, in GE happened – see bar 92. In the main text, we stick to the version of Atut (→FE→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

..
In Atut, the slur in bar 96, ending the line, is led far beyond the bar line; therefore, one can assume that, in spite of its missing ending in the next line, Chopin planned a much longer slur, most probably of a similar range to the one featured four bars before. We adopt such an interpretation in the main text. In FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), the slur was led only to the beginning of bar 97, whereas in GE3, it was shortened even more, so that it encompassed only the semiquavers in bar 96 (cf. the note to bar 93). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
The beginning of the slur in Atut may raise doubts. In the main text, we adopt the interpretation of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), emphasising the phrasing and not the piano grip. In GE3, the beginning of the slur was moved over the 1st semiquaver and a wedge was added over the 1st quaver of the bar. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |
