  b. 15

Slur from a1 in A, GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2Ab.

Slur from g2 in FE (→EE)

No 2nd slur in GE1op & GE1Ab

The moment of the division of the slur – after the 3rd or the 4th quaver of the bar – is not completely clearly marked in A. The interpretation of FE (→EE) is graphically less likely and at the same time pianistically less natural, therefore, in the main text we choose the first, definitely more likely possibility. Such slurs are given in GE, yet in GE1op and GE1Ab there is no second slur (until bar 22), which is undoubtedly a mistake. 

See b. 16-22
