b. 320-321

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slur to E in GE & EE

Slur to F in FE

..

Both versions may be authentic, yet each may also inaccurately convey the notation of the manuscript. Engravers would eagerly adjust slurs to rhythmic values or beams (e.g. this is how the slur of FE was shortened in EE here), which makes us approach the notation of GE with caution. On the other hand, the engraver of FE could have, e.g. swapped the slurs in this and the next bar – see b. 321-322. Out of these equal variants, to the main text we choose the version of the principal source, i.e. FE.

b. 320

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

F tied in GE, FE & EE2 (→EE3)

F repeated in EE1

..

The missing tie to F in EE2 must be a mistake, corrected in EE2 (→EE3).

In the main text we add a cautionary  to E. In the next two bars the sources contain respective accidentals.

Continuous slur in GE & FE (contextual interpretation)

Separate slurs in FE (literal reading→EE)

..

In FE b. 321 ends a line, while the slur reaches the last semiquaver only. However, in a new line, in b. 322 the slur clearly suggests that it should be continued. EE considered the latter to be inaccurate, whereas according to us, it is more likely that it is the slur of FE that was supposed to be continuous, like the one of GE.
