  b. 251-252

1 slur in A & GE2

2 slurs in GE1 (literal reading→FE→EE)

The slur in GE1 is written ambiguously – the slur at the end of the line of the text (bar 251) suggests continuation, yet in bar 252 the slur runs from the 1st note. The notation of FE (→EE) proves that, without seeing A, the notation of GE1 was interpreted as two separate slurs.
