  b. 395-399

Slur to end of bar 397 in A (→FC→GE1)

Slur to end of bar 395 in FE, literal reading

Slur to e1 in bar 396 in EE

Slur to bar 399 in GE2 (→GE3)

In the main text we give the ending of the phrase mark after A (→FC→GE1). The version of FE is erroneous and inaccurate (the phrase mark in b. 395 suggests continuation, yet in b. 396 there is no ending in a new line), which was revised in EE in the easiest way possible. The long phrase mark of GE2 (→GE3) is – just like in b. 295-297 – a result of a unifying revision.
