Slurs in A

No slurs in GC (→GE) & FE

Slurs in EE

..

The slurs encompassing each of the groups of small quavers are written in A under the notes. This might have resulted in them being omitted in GC (→GE) and FE. However, EE reproduced the slurs over the beams what made possible to avoid clashes with the ties to particular notes of the broken chord. This more readable notation is given in the main text.

Eight slurs in A (→FE)

Five slurs in GC

Six slurs in GE

No slurs in EE

..

EE overlooks all slurs in this four-bar section, in both the R.H. and L.H. parts. In GC there are no slurs in the L.H. part in bars 47-49, which is probably a result of an oversight too. In GE the version of GC was completed with a slur in bar 48, probably after bar 50.
