In A, the L.H. slurs, although written with a flourish, clearly encompass only the 2nd and 3rd crotchet in each half of the bar. In spite of that, in FE (→GE,EE) the slurs also encompass the 1st crotchet, which expresses the inclination of the engravers to adjust the range of slurs (and dynamic hairpins too) to the rhythmic structures, in this case halves of bars. See also the note to b. 36.
