Slurs from 2nd quaver in A (→FEEE)

Slurs from first quaver in FC (→GE)

The ending of the slur from b. 2 led to b. 3 is hardly visible in A, which probably convinced Fontana that the slurs of L.H. figures were supposed to end on the last quaver in the bar, like in b. 1 (it is likely that it was only after he had seen the slurs in b. 5-6 and 6-7 that he realised that he was wrong and prolonged the slur in b. 4). In the case of beginnings of the slurs, even the correct interpretation of the slurs in b. 5-7 did not make him correct the previously written slurs or keep the notation of A in further bars (in A it is only the slurs in b. 9 and 15 that can be considered vague in this respect; the remaining ones clearly begin on the 2nd quaver). In the main text we give the notation of A (also in further bars).
