Slurs

b. 392

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

Slur in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

No slur in GE3
..

The missing first slur must be an oversight of GE3.

b. 393-394

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

Tie to f​​​​​​​1 in FE, possible interpretation

Slur ​​​​​​​​- in FE (different interpretation→GE1→GE2)​​​​​​

Slur & tie in EE

Neither slur nor tie in GE3
..

The curved line in FE is present only in the 2nd half of bar 393 (the last on a page), and it is unclear whether it runs from d1 or f​​​​​​​1. In the face of the missing ending in bar 394, it is difficult to determine its nature – it can be a motivic slur combining d1-e1,  like it was reproduced in GE1 (→GE2), or a tie of f1. The version of EE with two curved lines is probably arbitrary. In addition, it cannot be excluded that the very presence of a curved line in this place is a mistake; perhaps it was meant to be a tie of f1 in bar 392-393 – cf. the tie in bars 400-401 (it was considered erroneous probably in GE3).

In the main text, we omit this unclear and dubious marking, which results in a version compliant with analogous bars 397-398.

b. 394-395

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

No slurs in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

4 slurs in GE3
..

The complete absence of slurs in these bars must be an oversight. In spite of that, slurs were added only in GE3.

b. 397-398

b. 398-399

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

2 slurs from 2nd note in FE

Different slurs in GE1 (→GE2) & EE

2 slurs from first note in GE3
..

Two subsequent slurs starting later than in the adjacent figures must be an inaccuracy of FE, partially repeated in GE1 (→GE2) and EE. In the main text, we move the beginnings of the slurs to over the 1st semiquaver, in accordance with the musical sense and analogous figures. Such a revision was introduced already in GE3.
