  b. 29-32

No slurs in AI

Continuous slur in AF

2 slurs in FE, literal reading

2 slurs in FE, contextual interpretation

Slur in EE

2 slurs in GE1, literal reading

2 slurs in GE1, contextual interpretation

2 slurs in GE2

The majority of the source versions are a result of inaccuracies and mistakes. Out of the written-down versions of the slurring, hence except for AI, it is only two slurs that seem to be authentic:

  • the continuous slur of AF, which we give in the main text as written by Chopin's hand and confirmed by the same slur of AF (→FEEE) in analogous b. 121-124;
  • contextual interpretation of two slurs of GE1 consisting in dragging the slur to the g crotchet in b. 32 after the ending of the slur of GE1 in b. 124.

The issue concerning the differences in slurring in the next bars – see b. 33-37.
