The ninth semiquaver is placed somewhat too low in A so that FE1 has an a1 instead of b1 there. The error was corrected in FE2 (→FE3), the remaining sources also have the right text.

A (→GC,FE1→FE2) lacks naturals before b in the L.H. and b2 in the R.H., while  before b1 is written only on the 8th semiquaver (instead of the second). Those obvious imprecisions were corrected in other editions: in GE & EE all three necessary naturals were added (the  on the 8th semiquaver, superfluous after those corrections was only removed in EE), and in FE3 only the signs before b and b2.
