When interpreted literally, the slur of A does not go beyond b. 477. A comparison with an analogous motif in b. 485-486 confirms the validity of the interpretation of that slur by FC (→GE1) and GE3. In turn, it is difficult to say what the motivation of the reviser of GE2 was while shortening that slur (and analogous in b. 481-482, 485-486 and 489-490), since he did not have access to A.
