b. 240-246

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

In AsI in these bars, there is no indication that the bass line should be doubled an octave lower. It is likely that it is not an earlier version but a simplified, incomplete record, hence we do not regard it as a full-fledged variant. In all the remaining sources, the bass line is led in octaves, generally written down with the use of con 8va starting:

  • from the 1st octave in bar 240 to the 1st octave in bar 246 in A,
  • from the 2nd octave in bar 240 to the end of bar 245 in the editions.
