No slur in AsI

Slur in A (→GEFE,EE)

According to us, the slur in A (→GEFE,EE) is an element of an earlier version of this place left by inattention or simply a mistake. This is supported by the following arguments:

  • problematic meaning of this slur, placed under the staccato dots – Chopin would often use dots under a slur to mark softly separated portato articulation, e.g. in bars 16, 32, at the end of bars 62 and 63 or in bars 259, 264 and 268; however, they are always between the notes and the slur. The notation used in this case rather points to the intention of replacing the slur with dots;
  • an individual nature of this slur – none of the three similar places (bars 346, 356 and 360) contain a slur;
  • the absence of a slur in AsI, although Chopin entered a number of various performance markings into this four-bar section, including a few in this bar (a R.H. slur, L.H. staccato, dynamic hairpins).

Due to these reasons, in the main text we omit this slur.
