Slur in EE, FE & GE

Slurs in GC

The slurs in GC are written in a careless manner, so the exact moment when the first of them ends (on the 1st or the 2nd beat of the bar) and the other one begins (on the 2nd or the 3rd beat) is not clear. The slur in GE is not divided at all, perhaps due to that ambiguous notation. Our interpretation of  GC takes into account the copyist’s evident tendency to draw slurs vigorously, making them longer rather than shorter. In our main text we do not end the slur in bar 97, following EE and FE in that respect.
