Slur in GE2 (→GE3), possible interpretation of GC

In the main text we give the most natural, according to us, interpretation of the notation of GC, including Gutmann's inclination to draw (too) broad slurs – cf. the Etude in A minor, No. 11, bar 9. The slurs of FE do not raise major concerns, in turn, the broken slur in EE seems to be a result of a misunderstanding – a context interpretation of the slurring of the base text to this edition could have led to the version of GE2 (→GE3). See also the note to bar 25.
