  b. 45-47

2 slurs in A1

Slur in bar 47 in CJ, CK & EL

Slur in bars 46-47 in CB

Our variant suggestion

In the main text we suggest the slur over the g1-g2 octave, present only in A1, in a variant form. The slur of CB, repeated after the authentic slur in analogous b. 5-6, is probably an arbitrary addition of Balakirev.
