  b. 16-17

Slur from 5th quaver in A (→FE→GE1no2,EEW1→EEW2)

Slur from 6th quaver in GE1op (→GE2op→GE3op) & GE2no2

No slur in EEC

An additional slur at the transition between bars 16 and 17 embraces in A the last two quavers in bar 16. In FE (→EE,GE1no2) it was reproduced in a slightly inaccurate manner (the slur begins already after the 5th quaver and it is placed too low), which probably resulted in an erroneous beginning of the slur from the 6th quaver in the remaining GE. The range of the slur in analogous bars 144-145, based on the same notation of A, does not raise any doubts in FE.
