Overlapping slurs in AI (contextual interpretation) & AF (literal reading→FEEE)

Separate slurs in AF (contextual interpretation) & GE1

Overlapping slurs in GE2

A comparison with the unequivocal, concordant slurring of all sources in analogous b. 5 makes us consider the overlapping slurs of AF (→FEEE) to be an inaccuracy. In AI the slur in b. 96 – at the end of the line – suggests continuation, which is not confirmed by the slur in b. 97. We interpret it as overlapping slurs (like in AF). In the main text we give the divided slurs of GE1, which, at the same time, are a contextual interpretation of the slurs of AF. The slurs of GE2 must be a mistake of the engraver.
