Slurs

b. 179-180

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

Slurs to b in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Slurs to g in GE3

..

The slurs of FE (→EE,GE1GE2) are most probably inaccurate in these bars, as well as in bars 546-547, which is supported by the comparison of the slurs in all 30 similarly structured bars (bars 179-193 and 534-548). All the remaining slurs encompass only 4 semiquavers. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest slurs compliant with the majority of similar figures. An identical unification was introduced in GE3.

b. 187

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

Slur from b2 in FE (→GE1GE2)

Slur from b1 in EE & GE3

..

A comparison with the slurs of similar figures of this section (from bar 179) proves that the slur of FE (→GE1GE2) is inaccurate, which, actually, could have had its origin in the careless notation of [A]. In the main text, we include the corresponding correction introduced in EE and GE3.

b. 192-193

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

No slur in FE (→GE1GE2)

Slur in EE & GE3

..

The missing slur must be an inaccuracy – slurs are present over all previous appearances of similar figures as well as in the analogous place in the recapitulation (bars 547-548).

b. 197

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

Continuous slur in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Separate slurs in FED & GE3

..

The unbroken – in spite of the rest – slur of FE (→EE,GE1GE2) must be a remaining part of the original version of the rhythm (with semiquavers without rest). The need to separate the first two notes from the following semiquavers was confirmed by Chopin with additional marks written in pencil in FED – a slashed line, underlining the significance of the rest (also in bar 201), as well as a slur over the first two semiquavers. Taking that into account, in the main text, we divide the slur, adjusting the phrasing to the rhythmic notation.

b. 199-200

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

2 slurs in FE (→GE1GE2)

Slur in EE

3 slurs in GE3

2 slurs suggested by the editors

..

Two whole-bar slurs in FE (→GE1GE2) must be inaccurate. The slur encompassing the rest in bar 199 is probably a remaining part of the original rhythm (without the rest inserted into the sequence of the semiquavers), whereas the division of the slur on the bar line may be, e.g. a result of the change of line in [A]. In EE, only the second of the slurs was reproduced, whereas in GE3, the first one was divided over the rest. In the main text, we give slurs modelled after the previous two bars, including the correction written in FED.
