Beginning of slur in A (→FE→EE2→EE3)

GE & EE4

Our suggestion

By shortening the slur, the engravers of GE and EE4 probably considered the slur of FE as inaccurate. In the main text we try to render the plausible sense of the literally interpreted notation of A (→FE→EE2→EE3) in a possibly legible way.
