Slur in GC

Slurs in FE (→EE)

Three-bar slur in GE1, contextual interpretation

Four-bar slur in GE2

In the main text we give the undoubtedly authentic slurs of FE (→EE). The slur in GC, starting from the middle of bar 60, is surely inaccurate and was misrepresented in GE1. The slur in GE2 is an attempt to interpret the musically unjustified slur in GC.
