In A the range of the slur beginning in b. 74 is vague due to crossings-out. In FC Fontana considered the line that seems to prolong the slur until b. 76 to be valid. Musically speaking, it is questionable; in terms of graphics, it is questionable too, because the final fragment of that line is in the area covered by the crossings-out. The interpretation of FE is much more likely – the undeleted part of the extension of the initial slur reaches the minim in b. 75, yet that initial slur ends on the last note in b. 74. In the main text we give the literal interpretation of the notation of A, which is both pianistically and musically natural; it includes the part of the slur that was not covered by the crossings-out.
In FC (→GE) it is also the beginning of the slur that is inaccurate.
