[legato] suggested by the editors |
In the fragment (b. 21-32) that starts here we can encounter a few L.H. slurs marked in a draft manner in A1 – two slurs in b. 22 and one in b. 24. It is only the latter that encompasses an entire four-quaver figure; however, it seems that both earlier ones, although much shorter, bear the same meaning. According to us, Chopin wrote these slurs only just the second time, since the first time (b. 21 and 23) he focused on writing new accompaniment figures correctly. There is no doubt that all bars are to be performed similarly, which leads to our alternative suggestion to add slurs. Since [A] (→CJ,CK) does not feature any slurs in these bars, in the main text we suggest repeating the indication legato, used in b. 6-7, instead.
