b. 69

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

"Vertical" slur in A1

No slur in FE (→EE) & GE1

Conventional slur in GE2
..

The missing slur next to the grace note is an oversight of the engraver of FE (→EE) and most probably also of the engraver of GE1. In the main text we give the slur of A1. The conventional little slur added in GE2 is an arbitrary revision.

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

"Vertical" slur in A1 & GE1

No slur in FE (→EE)

Conventional slur in GE2
..

The missing slur next to the grace note is an oversight of the engraver of FE (→EE). In the main text we give the slur of A1 and GE1. In GE2 that slur was arbitrarily changed to a conventional little slur.

b. 73-81

composition: Op. 50 No. 2, Mazurka in A♭ major

5 "vertical" slurs in A1 & GE1

Conventional slur in bar 73 in FE

No slurs in EE

5 conventional slurs in GE2
..

In b. 73, 75, 77-78 and 81, in the main text we give the only authentic notation of A1 and GE1, which is, moreover, concordant, in which the slurs next to the grace notes reach the bottom note of the following quaver. The versions of FE and EE result from mistakes and inaccuracies, whereas in the case of GE2 – from revision.
