  b. 86-87

Continuous slur in A (→GE1)

Divided slurs in FE (→EE)

In GE1, bar 86 is the last one on the page, whereas the slurs in this and the next bar do not fit together – the slur in bar 86 (proofread) clearly suggest continuation, which is not confirmed by the slur beginning in bar 87. In the remaining editions, the doubt was resolved in favour of separated slurs, although the ending of the slur in FE in bar 86 is not completely unambiguous.
