Continuous slur to bar 81 in A1, probable interpretation |

The slurring of A1 in b. 80, which ends the line, poses a difficult editorial problem, mainly due to the last slur in that bar: it can be interpreted as a separate slur or as an inaccurately added ending of the previous one; moreover, its range suggests continuation on a new line, which is not confirmed by the slur in b. 81-82. According to us, it is a flamboyantly added ending of the slur from b. 79, and this is the interpretation we adopt to the main text. At the same time, it is compliant with the notation of GE in these bars. We give the remaining possibilities as alternative versions, since each could correspond to Chopin's intention. In FE (→EE) it was also assumed that b. 79-80 are encompassed with one slur, yet it was combined with the next one, in b. 81-82, which is very questionable in terms of music.
