Slur from 2nd quaver in A (→GEEE,IE)

Slur from first quaver in FE

The A slur is clearly visible only from the 4th quaver; however, traces of pen are visible from the 2nd quaver. This is how it was reproduced by GE (→EE,IE). According to us, the later starting point of this slur than the one suggested by the phrase structure is an inaccuracy, probably caused by lack of space – a slur starting from the 1st quaver would intersect the natural, which could hamper the interpretation of this fragment. Due to the above, in the main text we begin the slur from the 1st quaver, as in bar 1 and as it was interpreted by FE.
