b. 325-326

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Slur in FE (literal reading→GE,EE)

Slur in FE, contextual interpretation
..

The extended ending of the slur in FE in bar 325 – in that source it is the last bar on the page – suggests its continuation, unconfirmed, however, by the slurless first half of bar 326. The comparison with analogous bars 321-322 (as well as 329-330) proves that the slur should be continued to the 4th semiquaver of the next bar. The revisers of GE and EE deemed the end of slur in bar 325 inaccurate, and shortened it.
