The longer slur of GE3 corresponds with its range to the slur featured in the next passage (bars 124-126) in FE. Since the aforementioned slur of FE, having been added probably in the last phase of proofreading, seems to be more credible, it cannot be excluded that the version of GE3 may correspond to the composer's intention. Therefore, it can be considered a variant of uncertain authenticity. In such a context, both versions have practically the same meaning.
