  b. 23-24

Continuous slur in A (→FE→EE)

Separate slurs in FC (→GE)

The broken slur in FC (→GE) may be explained by an erroneous interpretation of the notation of A, in which b. 23 closes the line. The notation of A is, however, unambiguous – both the ending of the slur in b. 23 and the beginning of the slur in b. 24 (in a new line) clearly indicate that the slur should be continued in this place.
