  b. 15

e in JC

e in EF

f in PE

 f according to PE

The e note, which is present both in JC and in EF, is probably the bass note of the earlier version of this chord, while the f note, visible in PE – of the later one. However, it cannot be excluded that one of those versions is a result of an erroneous reading of the autograph. According to us, it is much more probable in relation to e. In EF, the note (e) is held with a tie until the e in the next chord.

In the main text we give f, provided with a cautionary natural.
