2 slurs in FC (→GE)

5 slurs in FE

1 slur in EE

Lack of visible traces of corrections in the sources impedes to determine how the differences in the slurring of this four-bar section occurred. However, most probably all three ways of slurring are authentic:

  • the slurs of FE correspond to the positions of the hand on the keyboard and they are compatible with the slurring of the pair of chords in the L.H., articulating the shortest expressively important motifs;
  • the slurs of FC and EE determine the musical wholes – two- or four-bar respectively – in a broader time perspective.

In the main text, we give the slurring of the base source, i.e. FE.
