4 slurs in AI, literal reading

4 slurs in AI, contextual interpretation

No slurs in AII

3 slurs in AIII

2 slurs in A

Slur from bar 64 in FE (→EEC,EEW1,GE1op,GE1Db)

2 slurs in GE2op (→#GE3op)

1 slur in GE2Db (→GE3DbGE4Db) & EEW2

In the main text we give the slurs of A. The versions of the presentation autographs may be considered to be alternative or only precising the suggestions of the nuanced leading of the phrase and of accentuation (except for the clearly unfinished notation of AII). The contextual interpretation of the first slur in AI allows to assume the slurring of GE2op (→#GE3op) to be also admissible. The versions of the remaining editions are either erroneous or completely arbitrary.
