..

In GC (→GE) and FE the lower notes of the L.H. octaves in bars 192-194 and 198 were marked in an abbreviated manner with the digits 8. In EE, they were written out in notes, and we adopt that notation as matching today's standards. Similarly in bars 199, 236-240 & 486-493. See also the note concerning bars  195-196.

The sources have the lower notes of the L.H. octaves in bars 236-238 marked with the digits 8. We change that notation to match contemporary standards. The same applies to bars 192-199, 239-240 and 486-493.

Version of FE, unabbreviated notation 

..

In EE and GC (→GE) the lower note of the L.H. octave, D, is written – as – only in bar 239. That notation, when read literally, means the absence of both the tie and the tied note in bar 240. In FE, sustaining of the entire octave is written, also by means of an abbreviation, is a doubtless manner.
