  b. 28-29

Shorter slur in FE (literal reading→GE)

Longer slur in FE (contextual interpretation→EEW)

The slur not having been continued in FE after the transition to a new line is almost certainly an oversight – cf. an analogous situation in bars 20-21. This is how it was interpreted in EEW, in which the slur was led to g2 in bar 29. By contrast, GE approached the version of FE literally and clearly ended the slur on the last note in bar 28.
