Wedges in FE (→EE) & GE3

No marks in GE1 (→GE2)
..

The missing wedges in the R.H. at the beginning of these bars in GE1 (→GE2) are most probably an oversight of the engraver, although one cannot exclude that they could have been added in the last proofreading of FE.

The moment of division of the slur in the L.H. in this bar raises doubts both due to the differences between particular editions and the differences between analogous bars, to an even greater extent. The version of GE, with one slur, which is not confirmed by any of the three analogous places (bars 413-414, 436-437 and 437-438), must be a mistake. According to us, the version of FE (→EE) is probably also inaccurate, since in bars 413-414 and 437-438, the further slur begins clearly earlier, i.e. from the penultimate semiquaver, whereas the coinciding slurs in bars 436-437 may be interpreted twofold.

Slur in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Dots & slur in GE3
..

The staccato dots introduced in GE3 are a totally arbitrary revision; moreover, they were introduced in all analogous bars. In turn, the later beginning of the slur could have been modelled after the slur in bar 436.

In the main text, we give the unquestionable slurs of FE (→GE1→GE2). The shorter second slur of EE is a revision, probably related to the copying of the bottom slur from the previous figure at the transition between bars 413 and 414. The version of GE3 is totally arbitrary.
