The interpretation of slurring of A in this bar may raise doubts. The line indicating the slur is however clearly separated between two last sixths, yet the shape of the endings of the part preceding the gap and of the following one does not suggest the slurs' separation. Therefore, the gap could be interpreted as inaccuracy of notation of one of the slurs and this is how it was understood by everyone who was reproducing the text of A. According to us, the more distinct separation of the slurs in analogous bar 6 makes the use of a similar slurring much more plausible also here.
