  b. 57-58

Slur from bar 58 in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE)

The beginning of the slur in EE is placed inaccurately; therefore, it is uncertain whether the slur begins from the 1st or 2nd note of b. 58. We adopt the version compliant with the Stichvorlage (FE) and with the analogous passage a line above. In GE2 (→GE3) the slur begins already from the minim in b. 57, just like 8 bars before.
