As was the case with the R.H. slur beginning in bar 117, one could assume that the A notation is inaccurate. It results from the very clear harmonic structure of this fragment, in which the four-quaver groups starting on weak beats constitute a sequentially repeated dominant-tonic combination, which determines phrasing already at the level of motifs. Therefore, in the main text we suggest the GE slur (→FE,IE), in spite of it being probably a result of a mistake in the interpretation of A, and not of a harmonic analysis, as in A the initial fragment of the slur is poorly visible, since it blends in with the stave. In EE only the ending of the slur was printed (in bar 118, in a new line), which we interpret as no slur.
