  b. 543-544

Slur under quavers in A (→FEEE), FC (contextual interpretation) & GE3

Slur to bar 544 in GE1

No slur in GE2

When interpreted literally, the slur of FC goes under the rest and ends on the treble clef at the end of b. 543. It misled the engraver of GE1; he assumed that the slur was supposed to reach the octave in b. 544. The nonsensical slur was removed in GE2 (in FC and GE1 there are no slurs in the previous bars) and restored, already in its correct form, in GE3.
