JC, literal reading

JC (possible interpretation) & EF

PE

The notation of the sustained g bass note, read literally, is unclear in JC (and probably also in draft [AI]), yet there are no major doubts as to how to correct it. We observe one of the more invasive possibilities of improving the original notation in EF. In the main text we give the undoubtedly later improved notation of PE (originally in the treble clef). All manners of notation featured in the sources result in the same sound effect.
