The slurring of FC (→GE) is one of a few distinct inaccuracies of the copyist, and yet difficult to explain – cf. b. 27-28, 38-39 or 58. In A the slur starting in b. 57 is a tenuto-slur, according to us, and this is how we reproduce it in the main text. At the same time, we include the ambiguous curved line of A at the beginning of b. 58; the shape thereof resembles a tie, but it is placed at the height of a slur. In FE the curved line was not prolonged beyond the a1 crotchet, whereas in EE, due to a routine shift of the mark to the side of noteheads, it became a tie.
