Slur to g2 in A (literal reading→GE1FEEE)

Slur to f2 in A (contextual interpretation) & GE2

..

In A, the ending of the slur in bar 456 suggests continuation, yet in bar 457 (on a new page), there is no ending of the slur. GE1 (→FEEE) adopted a literal interpretation of this detail. In the main text we lead the slur to the last note of the two-bar sequence of triplets. GE2 interpreted the notation of A in a similar way.

Dotted crotchet in A & GE2

Crotchet in GE1

Only quaver in FE (→EE)

..

Both the absence of the dot extending the ccrotchet in GE1 and the complete omission of the extension of this quaver in FE (→EE) must be mistakes.

Short accent in A & GE2

Long accent in GE1

 in FE (→EE)

..

The short accent in A was reproduced in GE1 as a long one, since the engravers were probably convinced that they were a diminuendo hairpin. This is how it was interpreted in FE (→EE), extending the mark to the end of the triplet, "for clarity." The form of the sign compliant with A was restored in GE2.

Slur from 2nd beat in A & GE2

Slur from first beat in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

GE1 (→FEEE) interpreted the slightly inaccurate slur of A to be starting from the beginning of the bar, which is certainly a mistake.

2 slurs from 2nd beat in A, contextual interpretation

2 slurs from first beat in GE1 (→FEEE)

3 slurs from 2nd beat in GE2

..

Both slurs in these bars are written in A inaccurately – their endings do not reach the crotchets in bars 459 and 461, although they point to them quite clearly. A comparison with analogous bars proves that they are almost certainly to be interpreted considering not only their position in relation to the bar lines. GE1 (→FEEE) interpreted only the second of them in this way; moreover, both start from the 1st beat in bars 458 and 459, which is a mistake. The division of the slur in bar 460 is an arbitrary change introduced in GE2 (just like in the three previous analogous places).
