Tie to f1 in A (→FC), GE2 (→GE3) & FESf

No tie in FE (→EE)

Slur c1-e1 in GE1

The missing tie of f1 is a patent mistake, although in FE it was overlooked, while in GE1 – distorted, since it was interpreted as a slur combining the crotchets of the middle voice, c1 and e1. The correct version was introduced in subsequent GE; the tie was also added in FESf.
