No lower octaves in CLI

Octaves in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

Lack of lower octaves in CLI is almost certainly a result of the copyist's error – the octaves are there both in the previous and in the next bars. In FE (→EE) the octaves are written in an abbreviated form with the use of the 8 sign.

The b3 note on the last semiquaver in CLI is probably the original version of this place. The same note in EE may be a result of the editorial edition. However, in both cases errors cannot be entirely excluded. Cf. bar 5.

In some of the sources the lower notes of the octaves in the L.H. are marked in an abbreviated form with 8 signs. In CLI and FE all described bars are written in this way, although in CLI two 8 signs were omitted in bar 60. In EE the abbreviation was used only in bars 54-56.

Lack of the lower octave in CLI may be a consequence of an oversight, however, due to a different version of the subsequent bar, it is not entirely sure. In FE the octave is written in an abbreviated form.
