B. 16 falls in A at the end of the page, while the slurs are ambiguous – the ending of the slur in b. 16 goes slightly beyond the bar line, which may suggest continuation; however, it is not confirmed by the beginning of the slur in b. 17. In FC (→GE) Fontana considered it to be divided slurs, which, from the graphical point of view, is more likely. However, a comparison with analogous situations in b. 4-5 and 8-9, in which – particularly in the former – A features undoubtedly continuous slurs, tips the balance of probability in favour of the interpretation of FE (→EE), according to us.
