  b. 86-87

 

 

The slur in A in bar 86 (at the end of the great stave) clearly suggests a continuation, which is however not proved by the slur in the new line in bar 87. The separated slurs are compatible with the phrasing clearly inscribed in bars 3-6. The constant slur in GE1 is a consequence of unclear notation in A. It can be assumed that the manuscript sent for EE also had a similarly ambiguous notation.
