The consistency of the slurring in EE and GC (→GE) suggests that the slur notation was imprecise in the autograph. For our main text we take the slur of FE as undoubtedly correct. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Placement of markings , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in GC |

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. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in GC |

In GC, the slur ending in bar 239 – the last bar on the page of that manuscript – allows for several possible interpretations. As the version of that source we give the one that is the closest to the literal reading of the text, i.e. slur reaching the end of that bar. This is how it was reproduced in GE. Other possible interpretations include: slur continuation into bar 240 (version of FE) and closing the slur on f category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GC |

The slur is surely inaccurate in GC and most probably inaccurate in EE. Written with a bold strike of the pen, that slur had probably been present in the autograph. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GC |
, is written – as 8 – only in bar 239. That notation, when read literally, means the absence of both the tie and the tied note in bar 240. In
