  b. 4-5

Slur from 2nd quaver to bar 5 in A (→FE→EE)

Slur from first quaver to bar 5 in FC

Slur from first to 6th quaver in GE

In the main text we give the slur of A (→FE→EE). The slur of FC starts a quaver earlier, whereas GE also moved its ending, which made it resemble the previous slurs, thus consolidating a distorted image of articulation of these figures – see the notes in b. 1-2 and 2-4.
