Slurs

b. 261-263

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No L.H. slurs in GE1 & FE (→EE)

L.H. slurs in GE2

..

The L.H. slurs, added by GE2, are an arbitrary revision, probably related to the fact that the R.H. part was moved to the top stave (cf. b. 250-260).

b. 263-264

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In GE2 b. 263-264 fall between the lines, which could have caused the later start of the slur.

b. 263-267

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Continuous slur in GE

2 slurs in FE (→EE)

..

The division of the slurs in FE (→EE) could have been caused by, e.g. an inaccurate notation of the handwritten basis in the transition to a new line. Therefore, in the main text we give the slur of GE, which does not raise any source or stylistic doubts.

b. 277

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slur to minim in GE

Slur to end of bar in FE (→EE)

..

Like in b. 44, in the main text we give the slur/tenuto after FE (→EE).

b. 283

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No slurs in GE

Slurs in FE (→EE)

..

It is uncertain whether the two triplet slurs, added probably at the stage of proofreading of FE (→EE), were supposed to have any other meaning according to the person who was entering them (perhaps Chopin), e.g. motivic or concerning articulation. We do not include them in the main text and thus keep the notation of the corresponding bars (b. 50 and 283) in the first and final sections of the Polonaise coherent, as intended by the composer.
