In A it is unclear whether the slur encompasses d
1 on the 2nd beat of the bar or whether it aims for g1 on the 3rd beat. According to us, it is the former that is more likely – the slur symmetrically encompasses the notes played on the 2nd beat of both bars, which is an argument for a symmetrical interpretation of both its ends; since the beginning of the slur undoubtedly falls on the 2nd beat of the bar, its ending is also to be interpreted so. This is how it was interpreted and clearly written down by Fontana in FC, which was, however, ignored in GE.
