Slur in A

No slurs in FE (→GE)

Slur in EE

Our suggestion

In the main text we suggest to add the slur in the L.H. Leaving without the slur only bar 27 may have resulted from graphic difficulties in FE (→GE), similarly as embracing with a slur only the end of the bar in A.
The whole-bar slur in EE is undoubtedly an addition of the revision.
