b. 159

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
According to us, leaving the c3 crotchet outside of the slurs, even if it is justified by the notation of the autograph, has to be considered an inaccuracy; therefore, in the main text, we suggest a slur modelled after a similar motif in bars 155-156. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

We consider the source version, with the slur that does not go beyond bar 159, to be an inaccuracy – see the note on the previous page. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

The slur of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) is clearly inaccurate – it begins in the place where the octave sign ends in these editions. The slur in the autograph most probably encompassed the entire irregular group of semiquavers – Chopin would write this kind of slurs routinely, to a certain extent (cf. e.g. the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 2nd mov., bars 26, 28, 30, 31). Therefore, in the main text we suggest such a slur, introduced also in GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

..
According to us, leaving the appoggiatura, ending the phrase, without slur must be considered an inaccuracy. In the main text, we suggest a appropriate slur as well as a slur over two semiquavers, encompassed with a slur in the respective place in the recapitulation (bar 529). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

A comparison of the slurs in analogous bars 175-176 and 530-531 leads to the conclusion that they are most probably inaccurate in both places. Chopin was not utterly careful when it comes to such short slurs over the motifs whose range is clearly defined in another way, in this case by the arrangement of beams, accents and staccato marks. Due to this reason, in the main text we unify all these slurs (we also add the overlooked second slur in bar 176), considering the endings of the slurs in the exposition and the beginnings in the recapitulation to be reliable. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |
