  b. 44-46

In A (→FC,FE) accidentals were inserted very inaccurately in these bars, although the dense texture, and particularly the numerous doubled notes, allow us to determine the harmonic structure easily, hence also the correct text. Therefore, on the list presented below you can find the omitted accidentals:

  • in b. 44 sharps before c1 are missing, both in the R.H. (2nd quaver) and the L.H. (6th quaver), as well as naturals before e(1) and b(1);
  • in b. 45 there are no naturals before b and e2 or sharps before c1 and f2;
  • in b. 46 all 5 L.H. naturals in the 1st half of the bar are missing as well as the  before b1 on the 5th quaver.

Accidentals were added in GE and EE (in EE1 except  before b in b. 44 and b1 in b. 46, added in EE2). Moreover, in GE the  intended for c1 in b. 45 was misplaced (at the pitch of b).

The naturals before the b-b1 octave in b. 44 were also added in FED.

The notation of FCI is much more accurate than the one of A – it was only the  before g in b. 44 and 5 L.H. part naturals in the 1st half of b. 46 that were overlooked.
