As in b. 128-131, the fact that the bass line was not doubled an octave lower in AsI may be just a simplified version of notation. In A the doubled line was marked with con 8va, which was elaborated in the editions.

As in bars 128-131, in A the L.H. octaves are written down in an abridged manner with the use of con 8va. In the editions the octaves were written out in full. The absence of this indication in AsI could be merely a simplification of notation.

In the stage of proofreading FE, the ending of this tutti underwent a similar change as in the previous variation. Eventually, in the version for one piano, all four endings – of the Theme and the first three variations – were given a similar form, with a chord in a higher register (in open position) on the 2nd quaver and a doubled or tripled b root on the third one.
