Slur in A, literal reading

Slur in A (contex­tual interpretationGEEE,IE)

Slur in FE

The ending of the A slur in bar 153 must be inaccurate. To the main text we adopt the GE interpretation thereof (→EE,IE). The later starting point of the slur in FE is most probably a mistake by the engraver. This slur, together with the one in bar 150, undoubtedly means that the entire quaver sequence should be performed continuously legato, as in similar contexts the division of slurs falling on strong beats was often considered irrelevant.
