b. 23-24

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

Variant with one slur as proposed by us

Two slurs in A, FC3 (→FE→IE), EE, GE
..

In all sources the slur over the phrase in bars 20-27 is divided at the bar line of bars 23-24 on the tied c1-e1 chord. Here we write down one slur as in the corresponding part in bars 199-200.

b. 24

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

..

In A there is no dot increasing the length of the note c1. In this context it has to be regarded as an inaccuracy. Similarily in bar 40.

b. 25

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
 
 
..

Given that there is g in both the previous and following bars, we are led to believe tha the internal note of the chord in the second half of b. 25 per Chopin’s intention should also be g, and its omission must have been Chopin’s oversight. The version with g is no less satisfactory in musical terms, so if we assume there is no error in Chopin’s notation, we have proposed it for the main text.
