b. 97

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

Overlapping slurs in AI (contextual interpretation) & AF (literal reading→FE→EE)

Separate slurs in AF (contextual interpretation) & GE1

Overlapping slurs in GE2
..

A comparison with the unequivocal, concordant slurring of all sources in analogous b. 5 makes us consider the overlapping slurs of AF (→FE→EE) to be an inaccuracy. In AI the slur in b. 96 – at the end of the line – suggests continuation, which is not confirmed by the slur in b. 97. We interpret it as overlapping slurs (like in AF). In the main text we give the divided slurs of GE1, which, at the same time, are a contextual interpretation of the slurs of AF. The slurs of GE2 must be a mistake of the engraver.

b. 98

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

 in AF, literal reading

Long accent in FE & GE

Short accent in EE
..

We reproduce the mark in AF, longer than in b. 94, as a  hairpin, in spite of the fact that the arguments put forward there remain in force also here – the mark must have been meant as a long accent, which we, hence, give in the main text. FE feature a long accent in b. 98 and another accent or a hairpin in b. 99, which results from the transition to a new page in this edition.
