In A the bottom notes of the octaves in bar 84 are written in an abbreviated form with the use of 8. In FE (→GE1GE2, →EE), undoubtedly due to lack of space, the notation was also extended to bar 83. The notation of A was returned in GE3 (→GE4), which, however, was certainly an independent decision of the reviser.
