In GC the first slur in the L.H. starts closer to the 1st crotchet in bar 79 than to the second one. In spite of that, it is almost certain that it is to be interpreted in accordance with FE and EE. It is proved by the slur starting in bar 80, which, despite the fact that it begins almost under the 2nd crotchet of the bar, due to its position over the last two crotchets in the part of the L.H., may concern only the 2nd half of the bar. It shows the panache, with which the copyist drew the slurs (perhaps inspired with the handwriting of Chopin – cf., e.g., the Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24 No. 1, bar 21).
