Slur to b. 44 in A

Slur to f3 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The shorter GE slur (→FE,EE,IE) resulted from a typical, routine revision of GE. Similarly, in bars 47-48.

In the main text we omit the  to f2 in the middle of the bar, unnecessarily repeated in A. It was also omitted in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 44-45

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV
