The meaning and number of slurs starting from the d and d1 crotchets on the 2nd beat of bars 88-89 and 96-97 are unclear. The situation in JC and PE, in which those bars are only a repetition of bars 52-53 and 60-61, is discussed in the note concerning those bars. Consistent ties in bars 88 and 96 in EF may be a result of Fontana's interpretation and revision, which is indicated by lack of a similar consistency in bars 89 and 97, including the difference between FEF and GEF in bar 89. However, assuming that the notation of FEF in bars 88-89 and 96 is correct, we propose to add the missing slurs in bar 97.
