A more probable reading of the slur of A

A less probable reading of A (→GE→FE→EE)

The extent of the slur of A is somewhat unclear from the graphic point of view; we adopt the interpretation that is more natural in the context and consistent with the slurring in the two preceding bars. In GE (→FE→EE) the whole motif in that bar was slurred.
