Slur from b to L.H. e1 in A, literal reading

Slur from e to L.H. e1 in GE (→EE)

Slur from e to R.H. e1 in FE & IE

When interpreted literally, the A slur begins from b. However, the shape of the slur suggests e as the intentional starting point of the slur, and this is how it was reproduced in the editions. We adopt this phrasing, more natural in this context, also to the main text. FE and IE assumed that the imprecise ending of the slur in GE (→EE) reaches the last quaver in the bar.
