Slur in A (literal reading→GE→FE→EE)

Slur in A, contextual interpretation

The slur in A is misleading – placed over the crotchets of the bottom voice, yet it clearly indicates the b minim as its beginning. The doubt is dissipated – to the favour of a slur combining the crotchets – by a slur in analogous bar 284.
