To the main text we adopt two signs present in PE in bars 27 and 29. The first of them is also in EF (in JC there is no sign). In turn, we do not consider the short at the beginning of bar 27, which seems to be left mistakenly. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Sign reversal , Errors in PE |

The sign of accent, visible only in PE, is reversed to the left. Therefore, its way of interpretation is not entirely clear. In the main text we propose an interpretation assuming an error of the sign's reversal. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Sign reversal , Inaccuracies in PE |

When read literally, the dynamic signs of PE in this bar create problems in interpretation. Combination of three signs in such a small space, out of which two, partially overlapping, indicate contrary dynamic changes, suggests inaccuracies or errors in reading [A]. According to us, the first sign is put inaccurately, while two subsequent ones – erroneously (mirror reflection of the sign). In the main text we propose the latter, interpreted as a long accent and hairpins. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Sign reversal , Errors in PE |
