Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

One slur in FE

One slur in GC(→GE)

Slurs in EE

 

In FE the entire part of the upper voice in the L.H. is embraced with one slur until bar 104. In GC (→GE) there is also one slur, however, it begins only in bar 101 and ends together with bar 103.
The aforementioned versions, different from the one given in the main text, result from, among others, the fact that in A the slur in the upper voice in the L.H. in bars 98-100 falls on the transition between the bars – it is probably due to this reason that the slur breaks together with the end of the page, i.e. in bar 99 and that there is no continuation to the next bar. In turn, in the subsequent part the line of the slur overlaps the hairpins to such a particular extent that these places could be wrongly considered as a correction of the slur from a few separate ones into one continuous slur. This is how the composer's intention was misinterpreted and as a consequence, the aforementioned editions contain one slur. EE displays another interpretation of A: the slurs embrace note groups from bin bar 98 to g in bar 100, from b in bar 100 to the second g in bar 101, from in bar 102 to d in bar 104.
