Slur in bar 36-37 in AI

Continuous slur in AF

Slur in bars 33-34 in FE (→EE), literal reading

2 slurs in GE

Our alternative suggestion

In the main text we give the slur of AF, which is unquestionable in terms of sources and style. As an alternative, we suggest a contextual interpretation of GE, based on a comparison with analogous b. 125-129. AI presents an unfinished notation, while the inaccurate version of FE (→EE) is probably incomplete, since the slur at the end of the line (b. 34) points to continuation, which does not take place in the next bar.
