  b. 49

g1-g1 in A

f1-g1 in As & FE (→EE)

g1-a1 in GE

All three source versions are most probably authentic and prove the composer's hesitation and the quest for the smoothest formula for this motif. In the main text, we give probably the latest version of GE (the middle g1-a1 quavers), adding – after GE2op (→GE3op) and GE2Ab – a cautionary  before g1.
