Except for the arbitrary, whole-bar slur of CB, all the remaining ones present in the sources are related to irregular groups. Due to this reason, we discuss them in the note concerning rhythmic differences.

The slur of CK raises serious doubts in terms of both its range and placement – nowhere else does the slur encompass two such L.H. figures or is placed under the notes. Therefore, it is probably an inaccuracy or a mistake; it may have had something to do with a slur concerning only one of the figures or emphasising the bass sequence: c-A-G. Since it is absent in the principal source – CJ – in the main text we do not include this questionable mark. The slurs of CB are part of a comprehensive revision – see b. 6-19
