b. 45

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

Minim in As

Dotted rhythm in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The minim in As, which is the original version, unchanged in relation to bar 5, is given on the basis of the notation in that bar – see bar 42. In the version prepared for print, Chopin varied the rhythm of this bar (see also bar 43).

b. 45-46

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

Slur from quaver in b. 45 in FE, contextual interpretation

Slur from f2 in b. 46 in GE & EEW
..

In FE, bar 46 is the first in a new line of text, and the phrase mark begins there simultaneously with the continuation of the tie to f2. This suggests that this slur is also a continuation of a slur from the previous bar, but at the end of bar 45 there is only the beginning of the tie. Both in GE and EEW the slur begins from the first quaver in bar 46, but it is possible that Chopin wanted to lead the slur from the moment the note is struck, i.e. from the f2 quaver in bar 45. We consider this interpretation to be text of FE and we accept it in the main text.
