Continuous slur in AsI

New slur from 4th semiquaver in A, literal reading

New slur from 2nd semiquaver in GE (→FE,EE,FESB)

When interpreted literally, the R.H. slur starts in A from the 4th semiquaver in the bar. It must be an inaccuracy (cf. the L.H. slur), probably caused by ink stoppage. It was already in GE1 that this situation was evaluated properly, hence in all editions the range of this slur is correct.
