b. 15-17

composition: Op. 24 No. 3, Mazurka in A♭ major

Possible reading of the slur in AI

Another reading of AI
The slur in A (→GE→FE→EE)
..

The ending of the slur embracing bars 15-16 is nuclear in AI—it reaches beyond the bar line but its shape does not suggest including b1. In the main text we give the slur clearly drawn in A (→GE-FE→EE).

b. 17-20

composition: Op. 24 No. 3, Mazurka in A♭ major

Possible reading of AI slurs

Another reading of AI

Slurs in A

Slurs in GE (→FE→EE)
..

AI and A present here two distinctly different concepts of slurring. Slurs in AI show short, hemiola-like motifs; the beginning of the slur in bar 17 admits two interpretations. In A (→GE→FE→EE) Chopin continues two-bar slurs embracing a repeated rhythmic pattern. In bar 20 GE (→FE→EE) mistakenly brings the slur only to the 2nd quaver.
