Slur to bar 68 in EE |
In AI the ending of the slur in b. 68 (at the end of the line) suggests continuation; however, a flat slur begins in the new line from the 1st note of b. 69, in which one can see either a continuation of the preceding one or a new slur. The beginning of the slur in b. 69 in AF is also unclear – a flat line gradually emerges over the b1 minim, hence one can assume that Chopin started writing it earlier. The slurs of FE were probably corrected from a continuous slur, and, although the final notation is imprecise, the division of the slur between the bars is unquestionable. The same slurs are included in GE1, and this is the version we give in the main text.
EE are devoid of the R.H. slurs from b. 69 to b. 92, which is probably an oversight. See the notes in b. 77 and 92.
