b & b1 in A (→GC,FE,EE)

b & b1 in GE1

b & b1 in GE2 (→GE3)

Before the first semiquaver GE added a lowering b to b, and GE2 (→GE3) also shifted the  lowering b1 to b1 from before the 5th semiquaver to before the 3rd one. These arbitrary changes continue the harmonic revisions initiated by the addition of a  lowering b1 to b1 in the middle of the previous bar.
