  b. 73-76

Slur in bar 86 in FC (→GE1)

4 slurs in FE

No slurs in EE

2 slurs in GE2 (→GE3)

The four slurs over the pairs of the chords of the L.H., present only in FE, are undoubtedly an improvement of notation. Together with the staccato dots for the bass notes, they precisely define the articulation of the part of the L.H. The articulation in the remaining sources is marked in a draft manner with the help of single signs – a slur in FC (→GE1) and two staccato dots in EE. The slur in bar 74 was added in GE2 (→GE3), most probably after analogy with the slur of FC in bar 76.
