7-note slurs in A

7-note slur in A

Idem, R.H. only

8-note slurs in GE (→FE→EE)

8-note slur in GE (→FE→EE)

Idem, R.H. only in FES

On the last beat of bar 54, the slurs in A embrace the first 7 demisemiquavers only. The editions embraced 8 notes with them (in GE1 in the L.H. the slur erroneously embraces the entire figure and in FE the slur in bar 55 was shortened accordingly). In this case, the inaccuracy is understandable, particularly with regard to the slur of the R.H. that ends between g2 and a2.

If in bar 53 the version with harmonic accompaniment was chosen, one of the versions with slurs only in the R.H. is to be selected here.
