  b. 6-8

Slurs to g1 in A, literal reading

Slurs to e1 in A (contextual interpretation→GE→FE,EE,IE)

The range of the A slurs in bar 6 and 8 is unclear – the former, ending between g1 and e1, could be interpreted as a slur encompassing the entire L.H. passage, yet the latter clearly ends on g1. As there is no reason for the range of the slurs to differ, we consider slurs ending on g1 as the A text, since they are closer to the literal interpretation. On the other hand, in the main text we provide the interpretation adopted by the editions, certainly more justified, both musically and pianistically speaking.
