  b. 547-550

2-note slurs in A (→FC→GE)

3-note slurs in FE (→EE)

According to us, longer slurs in FE (→EE) are almost certainly an inaccuracy. The engraver could have relied on the R.H. slurs, which also encompass 3 crotchets; in this line of FE (b. 547-552), all 3 L.H. slurs present in such a context encompass 3 crotchets.
