  b. 16-18

Both L.H. slurs in those bars illustrate very well the phenomenon of very broadly written slurs in A: both the beginning of the slur in bar 16 and the end of the slur in bar 18 reach the rest, which does not make sense in the context. Whenever such notation occurs - just like here - in obvious contexts, it does not lead to misunderstanding, but in other instances the editions often misinterpreted such notation  – cf. e.g. bars 21, 25 and 29.
