Re: Feedback on cross stave slur

[Michiel Sikma]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks on both counts, I didn't realize there wasn't supposed to be a slur there at all. If there isn't one in Beethoven's manuscript I won't add one either. My intention is to just engrave an urtext version.

You are right that A4 is just too small. I'm still not sure what to do. Actually, I already set the global magnification to 89/100 - because without it, I couldn't comfortably do the long 32rd note passages in Op.111, which I worked on earlier. I might reduce it just a bit more, so that it's smaller but at least has decent margins.

I'm actually surprised that the 1st edition you pointed me to has two separate slurs over the 8.-16 and 4-8, rather than one big slur over both. If that's how Beethoven wrote it I've got a lot of fixing to do...Times like this is when I wish I had a nice high quality manuscript like I did for Op.111...

Hi Michiel,

The Artaria engraving of about 1819 is freely available at IMSLP. This is very beautifully done, a model of excellence. Possibly better than finding the MS because I suspect it contains many corrections.

No slur is present over the sequence you referred to.

If I were engraving this work, I would be doing it off this edition. The large amount of 'air' in the edition is something I find very important.
