b. 79-80
The beginning of the slur in b. 79 falls in A between the 1st and 2nd crotchets. A comparison with b. 77 and suggestive examples of slurs written in a "pointing" manner, e.g. the L.H. slur in b. 78-79, suggest that the slur should start from the 1st crotchet, as was interpreted in FE (→EE). However, in the main text we suggest a literal interpretation of the slur, i.e. from the 2nd crotchet, to keep the difference between b. 77 and 79, clearly visible in A. This is how Fontana interpreted that slur in FC (→GE), regardless of the erroneous placement of the notes (wrong pitch).
