Slurs

b. 87-91

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Slurring in A1 (→FEEE)

Slurring in GE

..

Both authentic versions of the slurring – A1 and GE, which conveys the notation of [A2] – are advisable and show various possibilities of how to phrase this fragment and the entire final thought of the Mazurka: see also b. 93-95. In the main text we give the version of A1 due to the reasons indicated in the note to b. 74-75. Cf. also b. 48-53.

b. 88-89

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

..

In A1 one can see that the slur over the R.H. part in b. 88 was combined with the slur in b. 89-90, written separately (led further on a new line).

b. 89-93

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Slur from first note in A1 (→FEEE)

Slurs from 2nd note in GE

..

In b. 89 and 93 in the main text we give the slurs of GE, which, along with the staccato dots and the G crotchets, offer an accurate picture of the articulation of the beginnings of these motifs.

b. 90-91

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

2 slurs in A1, literal reading

Continuous slur in FE (→EE)

2 slurs in GE

..

In A1 both the ending of the L.H. slur in b. 90 and the starting point of the slur in b. 91 are probably inaccurate, which is indicated by a comparison with GE and analogous b. 94 and 99 in the very A1. The engraver of FE, misled by the slur in b. 90, combined both slurs in one, which does not result from the notation of A1 and certainly does not correspond to Chopin's intention. This erroneous version was repeated in EE.

b. 93-95

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

3 slurs in A1 (→FEEE)

1 slur in GE

..

Both authentic versions of the slurring may be considered equal. In the main text we give the version of A1 due to the reasons indicated in the note to b. 74-75 (one of them being the deletion of the continuous slur over b. 93 in A1 and the addition of a corresponding ending of the slur over the 1st crotchet in that bar and of the beginning of a new slur over the 2nd crotchet).
