End of slur in A, contextual interpretation

End of slur in GE (→FEEE)

The slur of A is written inaccurately – its ending part includes a one and a half centimetre gap, resulting from ink stoppage, whereas in bar 217 (on a new page) there is no ending of the slur. In this situation, an erroneous interpretation of the slur in the editions was practically decided.

In some of the impressions of GE1a, the slur in bar 216 was extended, so that it suggests a continuation. It seems to be a random result, since the ending of the slur in bar 217 was not added.
