  b. 36-37

No slur in FC (→GE1)

Slur in FE, EE & GE2 (→GE3)

The missing slur over the D-G quavers in FC (→GE1) at the transition between bars 36-37 can be most easily explained with an oversight of the copyist. The slur was added in GE2 (→GE3), most probably on the basis of analogy with bars 40-41, the only in which FC (→GE1) has a slur in a similar situation.
