Slur to a1 in A & GE2

Slur from a1 in GE1 (contextual interpretation)

Slur from e1 in FE (→EE)

An earlier ending of the slur from the previous bars – clearly contrary to the structure of the phrase – is certainly an inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE). The beginning of the next slur, in GE1 careless and unclear, was interpreted in FE (→EE) unambiguously, yet certainly erroneously.
