Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

Slur in A, different interpretation

Slurs in FE (→GE,EE)

When interpreted literally, the slur from the previous bars reaches the 4th or the 5th quaver, crossing a new slur on its way, encompassing b. 56-57. According to us, this notation may have at least 3 interpretations:

  • the ending of the slur from b. 54-55 is led too far so that the slur is supposed to reach the 1st quaver in b. 56 only. We consider this version to be most likely and give it in the main text;
  • the overlapping slurs are supposed to be one slur, which we give as an alternative solution;
  • the slur beginning in b. 56 is inaccurate – it should start only after the previous one ends. It corresponds, more or less, with the notation of FE (→GE,EE).
