Note how David extends the slur in his source, to create a smoother effect with the bow. His solution is followed by later ecitors.

A typical instance of the same finger being shown for two notes within a slur, separated by a semitone. Some slide between the notes is inevitable.

"Leggieramente" probably implies a light stroke near the middle of the bow.

"Largamente" probably is intended to suggest a broad stroke in the upper part of the bow. (Another example is noted on the next page.)

In Bach's autograph, the first three notes are slurred (also in the next bar). A 4-note slur is less idiomatic; David's typical allows him to take the three slurred notes as an up bow, presumably starting at the point.

The indication <> may indicate a prolongation of the note.
