Slurs

b. 82-83

composition: Op. 28 No. 15, Prelude in D♭ major

Slur in A (literal reading→FE→EE)

Slur in A, contextual interpretation

2 slurs in FC (→GE)
..

The beginning of the slur in A falls slightly before the 2nd crotchet in b. 82, which explains the choice of FE (→EE), in which the slur runs from that crotchet. According to us, starting the slur at the pitch of the previous tie to b2 indicates that the motif beginning with that syncopation should be continued, which seems more natural, after all.
The division of the slur in FC (→GE) resulted from an erroneous interpretation of the slur of A, which, due to the fact that it is between the lines, was written in two parts.
