5 slurs in FE (→EE) & GE3

No slurs in GE1 (→GE2)

From the 2nd half of bar 399 on, five subsequent figures in the R.H. are devoid of slurs in GE1 (→GE2). The patent mistake was corrected in GE3. However, according to us, the roots of this mistake could have been found in FE, which is proven by the set of figures devoid of slurs in GE1 (→GE2) overlapping with the set of figures devoid of wedges on the topmost note. Such a compliance of mistakes most often points to their common origin, since committing the same or similar mistakes independently in the same place is highly unlikely. Therefore, most probably both slurs and wedges were overlooked in FE (or even in [A]), which was then corrected, but only with respect to slurs, in the last phase of proofreading of FE (→EE).
