We add the cautionary e3 flat. The sign was already added in GE. A has here an incorrect, unjustified natural written by a foreign hand. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4) a flat was also added next to e, the 10th quaver in the L.H.

A significant part of the differences in the notation of the final chords may be attributed to the errors of interpretation of manuscripts and changes and additions performed by the editors. As a result, it is only the notation in A and EE that differ significantly. However, they also give practically the same sound effect, having regard to the authentic pedalling.
