Dotted semiquaver in JC

Dotted semiquaver in EF

Semiquaver and rest in PE

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.
