  b. 24

Minim d1 & 2 crotchets in As

Crotchet d1 & 2 crotchets in AI

Minim d1 & crotchet in AII

Crotchet d1 & crotchet in AIII

Crotchet d & sixth in A (→FE→GE,EE)

Crotchet d, sixth & chord in As, alternative version, probable interpretation

Crotchet d & 2 sixths in As, alternative version, possible interpretation

Crotchet d, sixth & crotchet d in As, another alternative version

The bar has a different form in each of the previous autographs. The differences concern the rhythmic value of the first d1 and the crotchet – or its absence – on the 3rd beat of the bar. The given variants (the first four) cannot be combined with the main text in the note to bars 21-24, i.e. the version of these bars included in A (→FE→GE,EE). In turn, the last four variants given here apply to that version – the main text (conveyed by A and the editions) and alternative versions written in the first scheme of As (see the next note). On the other hand, the variants cannot be combined with the version of bars 21-24 included in the previous autographs.
