  b. 6

Separate slurs in A (→FE→EE) & CGS

Overlapping slurs in FC (→GE)

No slurs in CXI

The version of FC (→GE) most probably results from Fontana having misunderstood the notation of A – the second phrase mark in this bar seems to begin earlier due to the trace of a quaver beam, showing through from the Prelude No. 8 in F Minor, written on the next page.
No phrase marks in CXI – see the note on b. 1-12.
