Slur in b. 345-346 in AsI

No slurs in b. 345-346 in A (→GEFE,EE)

3 slurs suggested by the editors

Continuous slur, our alternative suggestion

Slur divided after b. 345, our different suggestion

Slur divided after b. 346, our another suggestion

The missing R.H. slurs in bars 345-346 are most probably Chopin's oversight (as in bar 342), hence it would be appropriate to add slurs. We suggest four versions:

  • as the main text: three slurs corresponding to the version of bars 341-343 completed by Chopin while proofreading FE;
  • a continuous slur modelled on the slur in bars 359-361;
  • an intermediate version with two slurs, in which the division of a continuous slur (modelled on bars 359-361) results from maintaining the slur entered by Chopin into A at the beginning of bar 347 separate;
  • another intermediate version, in which we keep the integrity of a whole-bar slur analogous to the one written by Chopin in bar 341.
