  b. 451-452

Slur to g in A (→FC), literal reading (→GE1)

Slur to e in A (→FC), contextual interpretation (→FEEE) & in GE2 (→GE3)

The slur of A (→FC) reaches the line ending b. 451, yet it does not go beyond it, so it is uncertain whether it is supposed to encompass the e minim in the next bar or not. In the main text we adopt the former as closer to the notation of analogous b. 349-350, in which the respective minim is certainly encompassed with a slur. This is how the slur was interpreted in FE (→EE), whereas in GE1 the slur ends on the last g note in b. 451.
In FE the slur begins already under the third of the top voice in b. 450, which is a patent inaccuracy.
