Beginnings of slurs in sources

Beginnings of slurs suggested by the editors

The slurring of bars 19-22, strictly analogous from the rhythmic point of view, is inconsistent in A. In bars 19 and 22, the slurs begin over the syncopated crotchet, while in bars 20-21, they run only from the next quaver. Only the slur in bar 21 is led to the beginning of the next bar. It seems that the differences are rather inaccuracies of notation and they do not indicate a necessity to perform the subsequent motifs, opening with syncopated, accented crotchets, in a different manner. Since, according to us, the difference in the placement of the beginnings of the slurs may suggest an erroneous structure of the motifs to a greater extent, and consequently a distorted performance, in the main text we suggest slurs beginning respectively earlier.
