As in bars 176 and 180, GE (→FE,EE) extended the slur only to the end of the bar, probably in the belief that the notation A was inaccurate. It is difficult to say what caused the subsequent extension of the slur in FESB – inaccuracy or perhaps an analogy with bars 196-197, in which the slur has the correct range in all editions, consistent with A.
