Slurs

b. 83-97

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Adding slurs under the L.H. demisemiquavers (as performed in GE2 in this entire section) is rational – the L.H. part is undoubtedly supposed to be performed with the same articulation as the R.H. one. In such homogeneous texture Chopin would generally leave it to the imagination of the performers, hence we do not include those additions in the main text. In GE2 a similar procedure was applied with respect to the staccato dots – see next note. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In b. 98-102 and 111-112 in the main text we reproduce the longer slurs of our principal source – FE (→EE). category imprint: Differences between sources |

As before, the L.H. slurs in b. 98-102 and 111-112 were arbitrarily added by the reviewer of GE2; it unnecessarily specifies the compliant articulation between the parts of both hands, obvious in this context. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In FE the slur at the end of b. 104, which ends the page, indicates that it should be continued in the next bar. It is confirmed by the slur of FE2 in b. 105-106 (in FE1 the page containing those bars is missing); however, in EE the slurs are separated here. A possible explanation for this discrepancy could have been an oversight of the slur in b. 105-106 in FE1 – the engraver of EE1 could have considered the ending of the slur in b. 104 (without a continuation) to be inaccurate and could have shortened it, whereas the reviser added a slur in b. 105-106 later on, adjusting it to the already printed preceding slur. For this reason, we retain the slur in FE1 unfinished in bars 105-106. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

The missing tie to the grace note in GE2 is most probably an oversight of the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |
