  b. 23-24

No slur in As, GE2 (→GE3) & CGS

Slur in bar 24 i A

Slur to bar 25 in FC (→GE1) & FE (→EE)

The L.H. slur in A encompasses only the two minims in b. 24. The range of the slur in FC is not entirely clear; however, it seems to point at the final E1-E octave, which is how it was reproduced in GE1. A longer slur, probably under the influence of the R.H., is also present in FE (→EE). The absence of the slur in GE2 and CGS is an oversight.
