Slurs

b. 1-6

composition: Op. 28 No. 18, Prelude in F minor

4 slurs in A (→FC) & EE2

Slurs in b. 1, 2, 6 in FE

Slurs in b. 1, 2, 5 in GE

Slur in b. 6 in EE1
..

None of the editions based on manuscripts reproduced all 4 slurs over the pairs of chords in bars 1-2 and 5-6. EE1 overlooked yet 2 out of 3 slurs in FE. The complete set of slurs in EE2 results from a compilation of the slur of EE1 with the slurs reproduced from GE1.

b. 13-14

composition: Op. 28 No. 18, Prelude in F minor

No L.H. slurs in A (→FC→GE)

2 slurs in FE (→EE)
..

The missing L.H. slurs in the second halves of these bars could have resulted from lack of space in A. In the main text we add them, as it was performed in FE (→EE).

The slurs were certainly overlooked in EE1, which was corrected in EE2.
