In A there is a phrase mark over b. 1-4 and also another one, which, when interpreted literally, starts from the 2nd quaver in b. 5. Therefore, nothing indicates Chopin's intention to combine them, hence the interpretations of both FC and FE must be considered erroneous (besides, the copyist considered the division of the phrase mark in b. 7-8 and 8-9 to be accidental too). Moreover, we assume that the beginning of the phrase mark in b. 5 is inaccurate in A; according to our interpretation, it starts from the 1st quaver. It is justified by the fact that in a few other situations Chopin equated a phrase mark beginning between the 1st and 2nd quavers to a phrase mark running clearly from the 1st quaver, e.g. b. 1 and 9 or 29 and 31.

The double slur of A (→FC) in b. 21 and the abridged notation of the R.H. part in b. 22 posed problems to the engravers, as far as the interpretation is concerned. In the case of b. 21, the top one is a tenuto slur, sometimes used by Chopin even for single notes, which was not a common practice in his time. FE considered it a slur for the entire R.H. part and omitted the bottom slur, whereas GE stretched it to the next bar, which resulted in an ambiguous curved line – a slur or a tie of b1. In b. 22 there is only a •/• mark on the stave, yet Chopin wrote the top slur above it, which, according to us, does not mean that he forwent the bottom one; however, the editions interpreted it so. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , GE revisions |
