Slurs from 2nd note in A, literal reading

Slurs from 1st note in FE (→GE,EE)

Different slurs suggested by the editors

It is uncertain where the L.H. slurs should start in these bars. In A, it seems that the slurs run from the 2nd crotchet of the bar, but the interpretation of A on the basis of a photograph is always prone to error. On the other hand, the engraver of FE (→GE,EE) would often put slurs in a routine manner, adjusting them to the rhythmic structures (e.g. in b. 32-33, 35 or 37-39). In the main text we adopt a hybrid solution, i.e. we consider only the slur of A in b. 69 to be inaccurate (cf. the unequivocal slur in identical b. 77). The source versions can be regarded as equal variants.
