Slurs

b. 289

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No slur in sources

Slur suggested by editors
..

In the main text we give the slur after a comparison with analogous b. 30, 56 and 106.

category imprint: Editorial revisions

b. 293-294

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slur to end of bar 293 in GE

Slur to bar 294 in FE (→EE)
..

Like in b. 60-61, in the main text we give the shorter slur of GE; however, the version of FE (→EE) may be considered equal.

b. 294-295

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slurs from E to g in GE1 (contextual interpretation) & FE (→EE)

Slurs from  F1 to a in GE2

Slurs from E to a, our alternative suggestion
..

Like in b. 61-64, in the main text we give the unequivocal slurs of FE (→EE). The slurs of GE1, starting earlier, may convey the inaccurate notation of [A], which most probably indicates slurs of the same range. The version of GE2 must be arbitrary. Our alternative suggestion is based on the assumption that the engravers could have routinely interpreted the endings of the slurs.

b. 296-297

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slurs from E to g in GE1 & FE (→EE)

Slurs from F1 to a in GE2

Slurs from E to a, our alternative suggestion
..

Like in b. 61-64, in the main text we give the unequivocal slurs of FE (→EE). In these bars it is also the slurs of GE1 that are of the same range, yet imprecisely drawn. The version of GE2 must be arbitrary. Our alternative suggestion is based on the assumption that the engravers could have routinely interpreted the endings of the slurs.

b. 301-302

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No slur in GE

Slur in bar 301 in FE (→EE)

Slur based on GE, our suggestion
..

In the manuscripts these bars were almost certainly marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 68-70. It means that the slur present in [A] (→GE) in b. 68-69 should be in GE also in this place, yet it was overlooked by the engraver. As we adopted that slur to the main text the first time, we also suggest it here.
