Slur in GC (→GE) & EE

Slur in FE

Probably only one of these slurs is authentic, while the difference is a result of different interpretation of the notation of [A], perhaps inaccurate. In the main text we give the slur present in the base source – GC (→GE) – confirmed also in EE. Leading the bass line legato until A1 is justified as far as the performance point of view is concerned, yet the fermata suggests breaking the continuous course of music after bar 4.
