Slur from 2nd crotchet in A

Slur from 1st crotchet in FE (→GE,EE)

The slur of A, due to the high position of the L.H. chords in the form of a segment of a straight line, symmetrically encompasses 5 L.H. strikes. Consequently, its beginning falls between the 1st and the 2nd crotchet, as a result of which FE (→GE,EE) erroneously encompassed the entire bar with a slur. Cf. a similarly erroneous interpretation of the L.H. slurs in b. 37-39.
