Slurs

b. 17

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Slur to bar 18 in A

Slur to c2 in GE (→FE,EE)
..

In this case, it is almost certain that the shorter slur in the editions resulted from a routine approach of the engraver of GE, who adjusted the slur to a half of the bar, thus avoiding the need to engrave its ending in a new line.
