2 slurs in FCI

1 slur in A (→FCGE, →FEEE)

In FCI the slurring of the motif in b. 4-6 and 13-15 shows its microstructure as a combination of two motifs of ornamental origin:

  • the nature of the first one, which is an echo of the one heard a bar before, is of a note preceded by a short grace note,
  • the second one is a note preceded by a long grace note, appoggiatura.

In essence, the entire phrase could be written down as follows (the rhythmic values are halved): .
In the final version, Chopin simplified the slurring in accordance with the natural course of music.
