At the end of b. 182 and 186, which end their respective lines, the slurs of A suggest that they should be continued, which is, however, not confirmed by the new slurs in b. 183 and 187. The interpretation adopted by FE (→GE,EE) seems rational, taking into account the longer slurs in b. 180-181 and 184-185. In the main text we suggest an alternative interpretation in which the range of the slurs is related to harmonic changes – the individual slurs encompass a figuration based on one chord.
