Slur to g |

Slur to a1 in remaining sources |
The slur of As ends – just like the previous one – on the last note of the four-bar section. The shorter slur of A seems to fit the phrasing better, if we take into account the accented g
1 syncopation. Therefore, the idea to break the monotone regularity with an accent on g1 (apart from slurs, it is the only performance indication included in As) could have appeared in the final phase of drafting the Prelude, after the slurs, reflecting that regularity, had already been written down.
