The slur of A begins from the 2nd quaver, which we give in the main text. In FE and EE the slur starts earlier (in FE from the 1st quaver, while EE continue the slur from the previous line), which we deem inaccurate. In FC (→GE) the slur was overlooked. As far as the ending of the slur is concerned, since in the entire Prelude it is slurs/tenutos that prevail in similar situations – see the note to b. 4-5 – to the main text we adopt such an interpretation, compliant with FE (→EE).
