  b. 478-479

e3 in A (→FE,FC→GE1)

e3 with  in GE2 (→GE3) & FESf

e3 in EE1

e3 & e3 in EE2 (→EE3)

In the main text we add a cautionary  before the 2nd quaver in b. 478 (e3), since there are no doubts that the harmonic sequence on which the passages in b. 476-483 are based is to be the same as the one in b. 484-491 (including the semitone transposition). The absence of that  misled the engraver of EE who added a  here, changing the 2nd and 5th quavers from e3 to e3. That erroneous change was rectified in EE2 (→EE3), yet only partially, by adding a  restoring e3 on the 5th quaver. In GE2 (→GE3) a cautionary  was added not only in the discussed place, but also before e2 in the next bar. A natural before the 2nd quaver was also added in FESf.
