Slur in A (literal reading)

Slur in A (interpretation→GE→FE)

Possible reading of slurs in FE (→EE)

Strictly speaking, the slurs in A may be read in two different ways. The interpretation of GE adopted in the main text underlines both the continuity of the musical thought from the beginning of the work and the moment when the actual theme begins. The same idea was probably behind the imprecise notation of FE, yet it was interpreted differently in EE.
