Slurs

b. 102-103
|
composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
The range of the slur in Atut is unclear – in bar 103, in a new line of text, there is no ending of the slur that suggests a continuation in the previous bar. According to us, the explanation is to be looked for at the repetition of this phrase in bars 113-115, written in one line of text – in that place, the slur is clearly led to the beginning of bar 115. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

b. 107
|
composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
When interpreted literally, the slur of Atut begins from the 2nd third in bar 107, which was repeated in FE (→EE). In turn, in GE, the beginning of the slur was moved to the beginning of the bar. The fact of beginning the slur from the 1st third, obvious from the point of view of slurring, may also be, to a certain extent, graphically justified – the slurs in bars 104 and 105, unquestionable due to the context, also begin far from the notes they apply to. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

b. 110-111
|
composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
When interpreted literally, the ending of the slur in Atut does not go beyond bar 110, which was considered an inaccuracy in FE (→GE,EE). In the main text, we include the literal interpretation, since the beginning of bar 111 is the overlap between two phrases, whereas the momentum with which the new phrase enters undoubtedly overshadows the delicate ending of the previous one. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

b. 111-114
|
composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
In Atut (→FE), the slurring of the bass motifs is less accurate here than for the first time (bars 99-102) – the slur encompasses only the quavers in bar 111. According to us, it was caused by the fact that bar 111 is the last one on a page of Atut – while finishing that page, Chopin entered a slur under the part of motif he saw and, due to haste, forgot about the slurs on the next page. It also seems that the slur encompassing the first 3 quavers was the original idea – the shape of the slur in bars 99-100, written first, suggests that Chopin decided to lead it further, to the crotchet, only at the moment of writing it. Taking that into account, in the main text, in bars 111-114, we suggest such slurs as in analogous bars 99-102. In GE and EE, the shorter slur in bar 111 was kept and a similar one was added in bar 113. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

b. 118-119
|
composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
The range of the slur of Atut is unclear – in bar 118 (at the end of the line), the slur clearly suggests that it should be continued, which is, however, not the case in bar 119. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |
