In FE (→EE) there are no arpeggios, which is a patent mistake, as is the absence of one of them in FC (at the beginning of bar 114). The defect of the copy was corrected in GE.

..

The cautionary  to a2 visible in FC was added by the reviser of GE. The accidental does not seem necessary here, and the other editions did not add it.
