Slur in EE

Slurs in GC, contextual interpretation

Literal reading of slurs in GC (→GE)

No slurs in FE

In the main text we present the GC slurring as the most precise one. Both EE and FE most probably copy the earlier stages of slurring these bars. The GE slur represents the literal reading of slightly imprecise notation of GC at the transition to a new line (bars 580-581)
