  b. 438-439

Slur to g in A (→FC,FEEE)

Slur to bar 439 in GE1

No slur in GE2 (→GE3)

The slur in FC resembles the slur of A, yet it is slightly longer, which misled the engraver of GE1. The subsequent GE omitted that slur, which, from the point of view of the reviser of GE2, was a reasonable decision: among 16 bars featuring b-e1 on the 2nd crotchet and g on the third one, it is only here that FC and GE1 feature a slur, which could seem a mistake.
