The supplemented slurs of A 

The slur in GE (→FE→EE)

The tie from bar 51 lacks an ending in the 2nd volta in A. In GE (→FE→EE) the tie for b flat1 in the 1st volta reaches that b flat1 in the 2nd volta. It is really astonishing that this nonsensical sign was not corrected in any of the first editions, even in the meticulously revised GE2 and GE3.
