3 slurs in GE

Continuous slur in FE (→EE)

In the main text we give the slurring of GE, in which the slurs are separated with rests in b. 224 and 226. Although one can often encounter slurs over rests in Chopin's output – cf., e.g. b. 217 or 240 – in this case it is much more likely that the continuous slur encompassing b. 220-227 in FE resulted from misinterpretation of the slurs of the handwritten basis (perhaps inaccurate or ambiguous). It particularly concerns b. 224 – cf. analogous b. 165 – in which the melody, not to mention the L.H. part, moves on to a higher register (from f1-e2 in b. 220-224 to f2-c3 in b. 224-227).
