In the main text we give the FC (→GE) version. Although in analogous bars 49, 51 and 53 the second note is a semiquaver, the g2 quaver does not seem to be a mistake – together with the e2 note (prolonged due to the fact that it was played before), it is the quaver that constitutes an augmented version of the dotted rhythm opening the motif (
). This rhythmic extension also impacts the next bar, which opens with a minim, and not with a crotchet. The semiquaver in FE (→EE) could have resulted from the engraver having misunderstood [A]; the engraver, influenced by the notation of bars 49, 51 and 53, considered the missing semiquaver beam to be a mistake.
