  b. 29

No slur in AI & EE2

Slur in FE (→GE) & EE3 (→EE4), contextual interpretation of A

The ending of the slur in bar 29 in A is unclear – the slur at the end of the great stave suggests continuation, yet in the new great stave the slur in bar 30 clearly starts from the beginning of the bar. According to us, the interpretation adopted in FE (→GE,EE; in EE2 the slur was overlooked) is correct.
