Literal interpretation of slurs in A

Slur in GE (→FEEE)

Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

In A, it is difficult to say where the slur in the L.H. in bar 456 is supposed to reach. When interpreted literally, it leads to the last chord in this bar, yet in bar 457, on a new page in A, there is an ending of a slur from the previous page. In GE (→FEEE), both slurs were combined in one, which has to be considered a possible interpretation (it also seems to be likely that the slur was added in its entirety in the proofreading of GE1). However, according to us, it is the contextual interpretation including the authentic slurs in bars 416-417 and 424-425 that is more likely, and these are the slurs we give in the main text.
