  b. 158-159

Slur in GC (literal reading→GE)

Possible interpretation of slur in GC

Tie to d1 in FE (→EE)

On the basis of GC and FE it is hard to imagine what range and meaning the slur under the bottom voice of the R.H. is supposed to have. The sign in GC seems to be an articulation motivic slur starting under e1, however, it is unknown which note it is supposed to reach – d1, e1, or maybe even f1 in bar 159. In FE (→EE) the slur took the form of a tie sustaining the d1 minim. In the main text we give the version of the base source, i.e. FE. Two different ways of interpretation of the slur of GC may be considered to be variants.
