Rhythm and slurs in PE

In bar 29, it is hard to determine whether the rhythms of JC and EF are authentic. It cannot be excluded that one of them (or even both) are a result of a misunderstanding of the notation of [AI], which could be ambiguous, e.g., due to corrections. In the main text we give the rhythm of PE, compatible with the rhythm of analogous motifs in bars 25 and 27. We also consider the phrasing of the third sequence in bars 29-30, which emphasises this rhythm.
