  b. 156-157

Slur from b1 to a1 in A & GE2

Slur from e1 to e2 in GE1 (→FE)

Slur from b1 to e2 in EE

Out of the three forms in which the slur beginning in bar 156 appears in the sources, only the version of A and GE2 is authentic. The whole-bar slur of GE1 (→FE) is a result of the manner of adjusting slurs to metric structures, in this case bars (the slurs in adjacent bars were distorted in a similar way). In EE the moment of the slur's beginning was moved most probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bars.
