b. 44
|
composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor
..
In the main text we give a slur/tenuto (typical of Chopin) after FE. The shorter slur of GE may be authentic; however, it cannot be ruled out that it was adjusted to the notes on the top stave by the engraver (i.e. shortened). The same applies to b. 277. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Tenuto slurs |

b. 55-56

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor
..
In the main text we give the slur from GE, in accordance with slurs in analogous bars 29-30 and 288-289. In the latter passage such slur also occurs in FE (→EE) what proves the shorter FE's slur in bars in question inaccurate. The missing slur in EE is certainly an oversight. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in EE |

b. 60-61
|
composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor
..
In the main text we give the shorter slur of GE, since there is no reason to differentiate between slurs here and in analogous b. 34-35, in which all sources contain a compliant version with the slur reaching only the end of the bar. However, the version of FE (→EE) may be considered equal, since the slur of [A] could have been inaccurate, e.g. it could have ended over the key signature of the new key, which resulted in different interpretations. Musically speaking, both slurs are justified due to the phrases having been combined at the beginning of b. 61. category imprint: Differences between sources |

b. 61-64
|
composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor
..
In the main text we give the unquestionable slurs of FE (→EE). The fact that the slurs of GE1 begin earlier can reflect the inaccurate notation of [A], which most probably marked slurs of the same range. The version of GE2 must be arbitrary. Our alternative suggestion is based on an assumption that the endings of the slurs could have been routinely revised by the engravers. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

b. 68-70
|
composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor
..
According to us, the difference between the slurring of GE1 and FE (→EE) may have resulted from different interpretations of the same notation of [A] by the engravers or the copyist. In the main text we prefer the slurs of GE, compliant with the division of this section resulting naturally from the texture. It cannot be excluded that the second slur of FE was supposed to start at the beginning of the bar, like in b. 43-44. category imprint: Differences between sources |
