b. 215-218

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Slurs of different lengths in GC

7 slurs in FE1 (→FE2)

8 slurs in FE3 (→FE4) & EE

3 slurs in GE1

Slurs of different lengths in GE2
..

Same as in the previous bars, the slurring of GC is very careless in these bars. GE1 printed only three slurs, which was completed in GE2, almost literally reproducing GC. The remaining editions contain correct slurs, only FE1 (→FE2) overlooked the slur at the transition between bars 217 and 218.
