The L.H. slur in A encompasses b. 723 only, hence it is compliant with the R.H. slur yet shorter than the slurs over the analogous motifs in b. 718-719, 758-759 and 762-763. It gives rise to the suspicion that the notation is inaccurate, hence the version of GE2 (→GE3) may be considered an acceptable variant. According to us, performing the D
-E crotchets non legato may be regarded as a positive diversification.
