Slur in Atut

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Both endings of the carelessly written slur in Atut fall between notes – we interpret them as "embracing," hence concerning only these notes that are actually under the slur. In the main text, however, we adopt the version of FE (→GE,EE), which is uncontroversial, as far as the musical and graphic issues are concerned, and which can also be considered an interpretation of the slur of Atut.

b. 56-59

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

..

In Atut, Chopin wrote these bars almost as if there were 3 sharps in the key signature (the A major key) – he overlooked the majority of the sharps raising c(1,2) to c(1,2), both sharps raising g1 to g1 and the  raising d1 to d1 in bar 57. All overlooked marks were added in FE (→GE,EE).
