The phrase marks in A are definitely separated after the 1st note in b. 16, as it was 4 bars before. However, the notation may be misleading – the final part of the phrase mark, over b. 15, is very poorly visible (due to low ink levels), while the new phrase mark in b. 16 starts very flat. Consequently, the correct interpretation of notation requires a careful analysis thereof, and Fontana, who was in haste, could have misjudged the moment the phrase marks were divided.
