The slur of A, literal reading.

Contextual interpretation of  A (→GE→FE→EE)

In A, the extent of the slur beginning on the 2nd beat of bar 49 is not quite clear. Both presented possibilities have some musical justification, yet a comparison with similar places in the text (bars 17-18 and 101-102) makes us consider the shorter slur to be more probable; this is also how that slur was understood in GE (→FE→EE).
