The ending of the slur is unclear in the majority of the editions – the slur does not go beyond d
1, yet the last semiquaver, f, placed on the bottom stave, is actually under that note, so that one can assume that it is also encompassed with the slur. Such an interpretation was written in an unequivocal manner in GE3. In fact, both notations define the same performance, since d1, being a quaver, cannot be separated from the next semiquaver. In this situation, it seems to be most natural to lead the slur to the end of the passage; this is the version we adopt to the main text.
