Slur in AF (→FE)

Slur in EE

3 slurs in GE

2 slurs in GE, contextual interpretation

2 slurs suggested by the editors

The notation of the tenor voice slurs eventually found its shape in AF. Probably due to layout complications in b. 128, the slurring of the remaining sources is incomplete or inaccurate:

  • in FE the slur of AF was placed under the stave, probably to facilitate the drawing of the curve (we reproduce this notation in the graphic transcription – the version 'transcription');
  • in b. 127 EE continue the slur over the tenor voice, yet in b. 128 it is also the alto voice that is encompassed with it;
  • in GE, there are two slurs in the tenor voice – the continuation of the slur from the previous bars, led under the stave, and the original d-G slur in b. 128-129. It is probably a result of a later added phrase mark, perhaps only just at the stage of proofreading of GE1. The original slur, encompassing the last two notes c1-b in b. 128-129, is also preserved in the alto voice.

In the main text we give the slur of AF, completed with a slur for the alto voice, written in this autograph in analogous b. 35-37.
