  b. 574-575

Six-note slur in A (→FC→GE1) & EE

No slur in FE

Five-note slur in GE2 (→GE3)

The missing slur must be a mistake of the engraver of FE. The slur was added in EE, probably on the basis of analogy with b. 572-573 and 578-579. The shorter slur of GE2 (→GE3) is a result of a unifying revision, to which all similar motifs were subjected.
