E-C in CLI

D-B in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

The version of FE (→GE,EE) adopted in the main text includes undeniable harmonic improvements in comparison with the original text of CLI. Similarly to bars 5 and 60, the incentive to introduce the changes could stem from the willingness to avoid parallel fifths in combination with the next chord.

The version of CLI is the original one, drawn from [AI]. It is confirmed by the traces of deleting f2 visible in FE.

B in CLI

C in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

The first note of the 2nd group of semiquavers in CLI is b1, similarly as in the 4th group there is a b3. The head of the note opening the 3rd group is illegible, but both the length of the stem and the figuration's logic indicate on b2 as the intended pitch of the note. In the main text we give the undoubtedly improved version of FE (→GE,EE).
