Six-note slurs in A (→FCGE1, →FEEE)

Five-note slurs in GE2 (→GE3)

The fact of GE2 (→GE3) shortening the slurs results from a general assumption adopted by the revisers of GE2 according to which all similar motifs should be provided with slurs encompassing quavers only. The discussed bars, in which both manuscripts and the remaining editions contain clearly longer slurs, stand in flagrant contradiction with that conjecture.
