In PE, five chords were written on the upper staff; we do not include this kind of notation, as it complicates it unnecessarily – the ensuing part of the L.H. is written in the treble clef on the lower staff. In JC, the 1st quaver is not combined with the subsequent ones. In EF, each of the first two quavers is written down separately. Similarly in bar 91. category imprint: Source & stylistic information |

The tie sustaining d in this bar is probably an arbitrary addition by Fontana, perhaps modelled on original version of bar 59. category imprint: Differences between sources |

In the main text we give the simplest notation of PE. Generally, all notations are equal, as far as the sound is concerned. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The first chord in JC and EF is a dotted semiquaver; moreover, there is no rest, which would be superfluous in this situation. It is certainly an earlier version. In the main text, we give the version of PE with a rest after the 1st chord. The above described rhythmic difference is matched with varying performance markings – a slur in EF and a wedge and slur in PE. category imprint: Differences between sources |
