Two slurs in GC (literal reading→GE) & EE

The slurs of GC overlap, so that it cannot be excluded that the intention of the person writing them was to connect them.

Slurs in GC & EE

Slur in FE

Slurs in GE1

Slurs in GE2 (→GE3)
..

Among the four source versions of the slurring, only the first two – GC and EE and FE – are probably authentic. The version of GE1 is certainly erroneous – the engraver confused the bars and inserted the division of the slur one bar too late. In turn, the reviser of GE2 (→GE3) probably assumed that the slur of the grace note and the phrasing slur, which merge in GC, create one slur beginning from the grace note.

Continued slur in GC (literal reading→GE1)

New slur in GC (contextual interpretation), FE, EE & GE2 (→GE3)
..

The first slur in the R.H., in GC started too early and moved to the left, confused the engraver of GE1 who combined it with the previous one. The remaining inaccurate slurs of GC in this bar were interpreted correctly, in accordance with the version of the remaining sources.
