e1 in EE and FE

d1 in GC (→GE)

In GC the middle note of the last chord is notated inaccurately - even though it looks more like d(and it was read accordingly in GE), but it cannot be ruled out that the copyist meant to notate e1 based on the following:  

  • e1 in both EE and FE;
  • notating this note higher than clear d1 in the previous chord;  
  • Gutmann's tendency to write notes too low on the line - such inaccuracy appears in his copy three times more often than an opposite situation when a note below the line (or between the lines) is written too high. On the same page of GC we see examples of notes written too low (g) in bars 342 and 345.

Therefore, in the main text we present e1.
