Both versions of the slurring found in the sources give rise to certain doubts. The slurs of EE and GC are inconsistent with the slurring in analogous bars 187 and – despite the differences – 481. Also the continuous slur of FE, more justified from the musical point of view, may be a simplified (inaccurate) rendition of the manuscript, as is testified by the slur in GE, which is after all based on GC. As our main text we adopt the slur of FE, but taking into account all the possible notation inaccuracies and misunderstandings, we also propose slurring consistent with the version of bar 187.
