Issues : Triplet slurs

Here and in analogous bars 9-10 our main text repeats the slurring of A (→GE→FE→EE). However, in the editors' opinion it is possible that a longer slur in AI better reflects Chopin's idea of articulation and phrasing in these places. This is supported by the comparison with analogous bars 29-30 & 33-34, where A has slurs corresponding just to the notation of AI. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Triplet slurs |

Slurs—and other performance markings—differ in AI from the later A version. In A Chopin wrote down two slurs (no account taken of a slur linked with the triplet—see below) but placed the beginning of the second one in such a way that it may be regarded as he would like to link it to the first. It was thus understood in GE (→FE→EE) which give one slur. Starting a new slur after a pause which stops the flow of music seems more natural. According to the General editorial principles, p. 16, in the main text we omit a slur over the triplet in bar 10. We also supplement a slur ending overlooked in A (→GE→FE→EE) in bar 12 (2a volta). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Triplet slurs |
