No slurs in A1 (→FE→EE)

Slurs in GE
..

Five slurs under the bass voice are an improvement introduced by Chopin in [A2] or in the proofreading of GE1. Chopin also added pedalling, probably at the same time.

No slur in A1 (→FE→EE)

B-c slur in GE

b. 31

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

Slur in A1

Slur over lower voice in FE (→EE)

No slur in GE
..

In the main text we reproduce the motivic slur of A1, which clearly begins over the d1 minim. The absence of the mark in GE is probably an oversight of the engraver or perhaps of Chopin himself.

b. 32-34

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

3 slurs in A1

Slur in bar 34 in FE (→EE)

Slurs in bars 32-33 in GE
..

Out of the three slurs of A1, FE (→EE) overlooked two. It allows us to assume that the absence of the slur in b. 34 is also a result of an oversight, most probably of the engraver of GE.
