Continuous slur in As, A (→FE→EE) & CGS

Separate slurs in FC (→GE)

The division of the slur in FC (→GE) could have resulted from a misinterpretation of A – the copyist could have overlooked the fragment of the slur over the dotted f1 quaver, which blends in with the topmost line of the stave. It is noteworthy that the slurs in As connect almost in the same place as in A.
