Slurs

b. 99

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Tie to g in A (→GEIE), FE2 & EE2

No tie in EE1

Slur to L.H. quavers in FE1

..

The missing tie to g must be a mistake by the engraver of EE1, corrected in EE2. In FE1 the tie was mistakenly interpreted as a slur pertaining to the L.H. quavers, which was corrected in FE2.

b. 99-100

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Slur to b. 100 in A

Slur to end of b. 99 in GE

Slur to f in FE, EE & IE

..

In GE the ending of the slur in bar 99 (at the end of a line) can be considered a tenuto slur. However, it is most probably an inaccuracy – the slur was either supposed to reach bar 100, as it is in A, or the f crotchet, as it was unanimously interpreted in the remaining editions.

b. 120-121

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Slur in A, literal reading

Slur in A (contextual interpretation→GEFE,EE,IE)

..

When interpreted literally, the A slur is not related to the phrase structure, which raises doubts as to its range, particularly in the face of numerous other examples of inaccurate slurs in this manuscript (e.g. in bars 96-97). Due to the above, in the main text we provide the interpretation of this slur as adopted by GE (→FE,EE,IE), which is a reasonable compromise between the actual range of the phrase, confirmed by the R.H. slur, and the actual notation (cf. also the L.H. slur in a similar context in bars 112-114).

b. 124

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Slur to c in A (→GE) & EE2, literal reading

Slur to next bar in A (contextual interpretation), FE & IE

No slur in EE1

..

When interpreted literally, the A slur reaches the last note in the bar. However, in the next bar, in a new line, the slur clearly shows that it should have been continued, which is also confirmed by the slurs in the similar situations in bars 126-127 and 128-130. This ambiguous notation was reproduced in GE and EE2 (in EE1 the slur was omitted). In FE and IE there is a continuous slur, in accordance with our interpretation.

b. 125-126

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Slur to C in A

Slur to E in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

The A slur reaches almost the bar line, yet its shape rather does not suggest that it was intended to be led to E, as it was reproduced in GE (→FE,EE,IE). Cf. the slurs in bar 127 and 130.
