Two slurs in As

No slurs in AI & A (→FEGE,EE)

It is one of two bars in which As includes slurs. These two two-note slurs, eventually replaced with a longer phrase mark, can be considered to be an additional, more precise suggestion concerning the articulation and accentuation of this kind of motifs. According to us, it is, however, highly likely that it was the will to avoid an excessively fragmented articulation of these phrases that was the main motive of rejecting these slurs.
