  b. 481-482

Slur to bar 482 in A (→FCGE1) & GE3

Slur in bar 481 in FE (→EE) & GE2

While the slur of A does not reach the 1st octave in b. 482, it does go beyond the bar line, which indicates that it was supposed to reach that octave. This is how it was understood by Fontana in FC (→GE1); moreover, such a slur – without a doubt – is present in analogous b. 489-490. The versions of GE2 and GE3 prove inconceivable dilemmas of the revisers of the second German edition concerning the range of that and similar slurs.
