composition: Op. 28 No. 23, Prelude in F major

Slur from grace notes in A, literal reading

Slur from grace notes in A, contextual interpretation

Slur to bar 19 in FC (→GE)

Slur from 2nd crotchet in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we reproduce the beginning of the slur in accordance with the notation of A (→FC→GE). In FE, like in the previous analogous bars, the beginning of the slur was placed only just over the trilled crotchet.

The ending of the slur, which clearly reaches the end of the bar in A, was interpreted in FC (→GE) differently, i.e. it led to the beginning of b. 19. According to us, that slur, when interpreted literally, resembles a tenuto-slur, which is, however, probably an inaccuracy of notation, which we do not include in the main text.
