L.H. rhythm and slur in AI

A, slurs interpreted

Without slur in bar 12 in GE1

Inaccurate slur in bar 15 in FE (→EE)

Arbitrary supplements in GE2

Our suggestion

In A (→GEFEEE) Chopin modified the articulation of the L.H. part in relation to AI by separating shorter motifs by means of slurs, quavers and rests. Inaccurate notation of slurs appears both in A (in bars 15, 17 & 19-20) and in the editions—in GE1 (→FEEE) in bar 13, and in FE (→EE) also in bar 15. Moreover, GE2 introduced arbitrary supplements to the slurring in bars 12-14, 15-16 & 17-18. We propose the slurs of A, interpreted and supplemented according to the divisions indicated by the rhythmic values.
