The ending of the slur in A is unclear – the slur reaches more or less the middle of the crossed-out, initial version of b. 11 (probably it was only the R.H. part that was written down). Therefore, it may mean a slur reaching further than the end of b. 10 or a slur that does not reach the f
note in b. 11. Both FC and FE adopted the latter, perhaps in the belief that the crossing-out also applies to the ending of the slur, falling on b. 11. According to us, two slurs clearly reaching in A the minim that ends the passage (b. 3 and 15) are strong arguments in favour of an analogous interpretation of the notation of A in the discussed place.
