The additional c2 crotchet in EE is probably an editorial revision, aiming at filling the bar in the part of the R.H. The reviser may have not understood that the a crotchet on the bottom stave was to be performed by the R.H. The change is also related to an earlier start of the slur. For a more detailed explanation of the slurring – see the previous note.
