Literal reading of the slurs of A

Slurs in GE (→FE→EE)

When read literally in A, the slurs in the indicated place and at the transition point between bar 16 and bar 17 do not reach the last notes in three-note motifs. This was recognized as an instance of inaccurate notation and correctly interpreted already in GE.
