The slur in GC (→GE), embracing the entire bar 5, is probably imprecise – cf. the slur of the upper voice and a similar situation in bars 13-14. This is probably due to misunderstanding the notation of the autograph (not very precise itself) by the copyist. In the main text we give the slur of FE. The notation of EE (no slur above the lower staff) may be regarded as the original revision of the slurring of that motif (similarly in bars 13-14).
