Three-note chord in A (→EE,GCGE)

Octave in FE

The octave in FE is most probably a result of an oversight of the engraver of FE1, although the missing completion of the middle note in later proofreadings may be perplexing. It is even more puzzling considering the fact that both in FE2 and in FE3 corrections were made in this bar and on this stave – in FE2 it was the octave sign that was corrected, while FE3 added flats lowering e2(3) to e2(3) and a3 to a3. In spite of that, the most plausible explanation of the missing middle note in this octave is, according to us, an error, and sanctioning it supplements in FE3 constitute a strong argument for at least partial non-authenticity of the changes introduced in this edition.
