Slurs

b. 24-29

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

Two slurs in AI, literal reading

AI, contextual interpretation

Slur in A (→GE→FE→EE)
..

A (→GE→FE→EE) has a slur in the R.H. drawn from b flat1 in bar 24 to f1 in bar 29. It can be seen that Chopin added the closing part of the mark in order to bring it clearly to f1
in bar 29. In AI bars 25-28 are marked as a repetition of the corresponding fragment of beginning of the Mazurka and contain two two-bar slurs.

Slurs in AI and A

The slur in GE1 (→FE→EE)

GE2
..

In bar 29 of A the slur notation is not very clear, but the traces of extending the slur by Chopin in A, and also the notation in AI, point to the first note of the triplet as the intended starting point for the slur, as presented in GE2. GE1 (→FE→EE) have the slur starting earlier. Similar differences appear in bar 33.
