  b. 10

Slur in A & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

Longer slur in FE (→GE1,EE)

In FE (→EE,GE1) the slur embraces the entire R.H. part in this bar. In the editors' opinion a misunderstanding of A is more probable than a correction. Therefore, in the main text we adopt the A version with a slur embracing only the run (in all analogous bars – 58, 114 and 162 – the slur was rendered this way in all editions). The slur in the subsequent GE,s was assimilated to its remaining occurences.
