  b. 23-24

Slur to d2 in A (literal reading→GE→FE,EE,IE)

Slur to b. 24 in A, possible interpretation

In A the ending of the slur in bar 23 (at the end of the line) indicates that it should be continued, which is not confirmed by bar 24, in which there is no ending thereof. To the main text we adopt the interpretation of GE (→FE,EE,IE) due to  in bar 24, indicating the beginning of a new section – cf. bar 16.
