3 slurs in A (→FC,FEEE)

Continuous slur in GE

..

The continuous six-bar slur of GE is one of the more glaring examples of the flippant approach of the Breitkopf engravers to the Chopinesque slurring – cf. the characterization of GE1 in the first movement of the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21.

Slur to 2nd beat in A (contextual interpretation→FC)

Slur to 3rd beat in FE (→EE) & GE

..

In A it is unclear whether the slur encompasses d1 on the 2nd beat of the bar or whether it aims for g1 on the 3rd beat. According to us, it is the former that is more likely – the slur symmetrically encompasses the notes played on the 2nd beat of both bars, which is an argument for a symmetrical interpretation of both its ends; since the beginning of the slur undoubtedly falls on the 2nd beat of the bar, its ending is also to be interpreted so. This is how it was interpreted and clearly written down by Fontana in FC, which was, however, ignored in GE.

In A (→FC,FE) there is no  lowering d2 to d2. The Chopinesque inaccuracy was corrected in EE and GE.
