Slurs

b. 107

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slur from grace note in GE1 & FE

Slur from crotchet in EE & GE2
..

The slur starting later in EE and GE2 is most probably due to the publishers' routine revisions.

b. 108

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Slur in FE (→EE)

No slur in GE
..

In the main text we do not include the triplet slur in FE (→EE) – (cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16), particularly since its authenticity is uncertain.

b. 109-111

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Shorter slur in GE

Slur to bar 111 in FE (→EE)
..

The absence of the phrase mark over the second part of the phrase is most probably an oversight suggesting that [A] could have had two phrase marks in b. 107-110, like in analogous b. 31-34. However, it is only speculation, hence in the main text we give the unequivocal four-bar phrase mark of FE (→EE).

b. 113-124

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Shorter slurs in GE

Longer slurs in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text in b. 113-124 we reproduce the longer slurs of the principal source, i.e. FE (→EE).

b. 113-126

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No L.H. slurs in GE1 & FE (→EE)

L.H. slurs in GE2
..

As before, the L.H. slurs are an arbitrary addition of the revision of GE2 (essentially right yet dispensable).
