Two slurs in AI & A

One slur in GE, FE & EE

It is unclear on which ground GE embraces these bars with one slur. According to us, it is a result of misunderstanding A. One slur is, however, also present in FE and EE, hence this version may be considered as an equally valid alternative to two slurs written in AI and A.
