  b. 75-76

New slur from 3rd beat of bar 75 in AI, contextual interpretation

Continuous slur in A (→FE→EE,GE1op,GE1no2→GE2no2)

New slur from 3rd beat of bar 76 in GE2op (→GE3op)

In AI, the slur running from bar 73 ends over the 1st crotchet in bar 75, whereas a new slur begins from the 3rd beat of this bar. Leaving the 2nd crotchet outside of the phrases raises doubts – according to the musical sense, it is the first slur that is most probably too short, e.g. as a result of ink stoppage. Therefore, we interpret it as reaching e2.
The broken slur in bar 76 is an arbitrary revision of GE2op (→GE3op).
