  b. 13-16

L.H. slur in A (→FE→EE)

No slur in bars 14-16 in FC

No slur in bars 13-16 in GE

The missing ending of the L.H. slur in b. 14-16 in FC must be a result of distraction of the copyist, who forgot to continue the slur in a new line (he also overlooked the slur in b. 18-19; cf. also the note to b. 5-10). This mistake – not continuing the slur in a new line – was repeated in GE, in which the slur is already absent in b. 13 due to a different division of the text into great staves.
