  b. 43-48

No marks in A

5 wedges in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

4 wedges in EE

The wedges present in GE (→FE,IE) over the last octaves in bars 43-45 and 47-48 must have resulted from a misunderstanding – the endings of the stems, sticking out from the beam in A, were confused with wedges. The stems are particularly visible – and misleading – in bars 47-48, yet such thickened endings of vertical lines can easily be found in A in other situations as well, where their insignificant nature is obvious. Taking into account the above, in the main text we do not include these wedges.
EE repeated only 4 out of 5 wedges present in GE – the one in bar 45 was left out.
