b. 5

2 slurs in A (probable interpretation→FC→GE)

Continuous slur in FE (→EE)

The ending of the slur that started in b. 4 may suggest in A that it should be combined with the slur in b. 5; it was reproduced as such in FE (→EE). In turn, the copyist in FC (→GE) assumed that the slur reaches the beginning of b. 5 but does not combine with the slur that begins there. According to us, it is the latter that is more likely; therefore, we give it in the main text.
