Slur in A, literal reading

FE (→GE,EE), interpretation of A

It is unclear whether the slur in A embraces the entire bar or only the last two notes, thus emphasising the expressive gesture of suspending the phrase. Despite the fact that the second possibility seems to be musically attractive, in the main text, on the basis of the analysis of the slurs' notation in this section of A, we suggest the interpretation adopted in FE (→GE,EE).
