When interpreted literally, the slurs of A embrace four quavers and coincide with the fifth one. The first is certainly inaccurate: its shape does not indicate an intention of leading it to G. In the case of the second slur, it is already less obvious, yet a comparison with analogous bars (see bar 159) makes us believe that it is also a possible mistake of the composer. The version of the editions is a result of the schematic approach of the engraver of GE1, convinced of, as it seems, the inaccuracy of the notation of A, which was not justified in this bar.
