  b. 252-253

Slur to 4th quaver in A, literal reading

Slur to a3 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

Slur to b. 253, our suggestion

The A slur must be inaccurate, as it only reaches f3 – cf. the endings of the analogous slurs in bars 244-245 and 248-249. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a slur to g3 in bar 253, modelled after those slurs. In GE (→FE,EE,IE) the slur was routinely revised by extending it to the end of the bar.
