None of the editions based on manuscripts reproduced all 4 slurs over the pairs of chords in bars 1-2 and 5-6. EE1 overlooked yet 2 out of 3 slurs in FE. The complete set of slurs in EE2 results from a compilation of the slur of EE1 with the slurs reproduced from GE1.

We add cautionary flats before the penultimate semiquaver d1(2). The accidental in the R.H. part was already added in EE, however, in EE1 it is a mistaken , corrected into  only in EE2.

A flat is also visible there (in the R.H.) in FC. It is a later annotation, absent from GE.
