The slurs, added both in EE and – to a lesser extent – in GE2, are certainly inauthentic. The slur in bar 162 can be considered to be justified in the light of the authentic slur in identical bar 166. According to us, in this context, the difference can suggest a slightly different performance, e.g. a more pronounced crescendo, hence we preserve the differentiated notation of A in the main text.
