  b. 61-64

Slurs from E to g in GE1 (contextual interpretation) & FE (→EE)

Slurs from F1 to a in GE2

Slurs from E to a, our alternative suggestion

In the main text we give the unquestionable slurs of FE (→EE). The fact that the slurs of GE1 begin earlier can reflect the inaccurate notation of [A], which most probably marked slurs of the same range. The version of GE2 must be arbitrary. Our alternative suggestion is based on an assumption that the endings of the slurs could have been routinely revised by the engravers.
The same applies to b. 294-297.
