In the manuscripts these bars were almost certainly marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 68-70. It means that FE (→EE) overlooked the slur here, present in those editions in b. 69-70 (or rather its complete version, since in those bars, in turn, the part of the slur falling on b. 70 was overlooked). We suggest such a slur as an alternative version, while in the main text we give a possible contextual interpretation of the notation of GE1, according to which we consider the slur going beyond the second out of the last four quavers in b. 303 to reach the end of the bar, in accordance with the slurs of FE in b. 44 and 277.
