b. 59

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Slur from demisemiquaver in A (→GE→FE1→FE2)

Slur from semiquaver in EE & FESB
..

In the main text we keep the notation of A (→GE→FE1→FE2), in which the slur starts from the tied d4 demisemiquaver. Chopin would often apply such a type of notation of slurs throughout his entire life. The equivalent notation of EE and FESB probably reflects the individual preferences of the engravers of those editions.

Additional slurs in sources

No triplet slurs, our suggestion
..

In the main text we omit the slurs being part of a marking of an irregular group – cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16. In AsI there are no other slurs in this bar.
