 in A (literal reading→GE1)

 in A (contextual interpretation) & EE2 (→EE3)

No markings in FE (→EE1)

One  in GE2

When interpreted literally, both  are written in A in a way it was performed in GE1. However, according to us, the second sign concerns the quaver motif in the L.H. and this is the interpretation we give in the main text. It is difficult to state why FE (→EE1) did not print any of those signs; it was probably due to distraction. In GE2 the second sign was considered superfluous and it was removed. In this context, one has to acknowledge the intuition of the reviser of EE2 (→EE3) who found the correct solution only on the basis of GE1, hence not having seen A.
