Crotchets in A

Quavers in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The notation with no additional crotchet stems to the 2nd and 4th quavers is probably inaccurate.

 in A

 in FE (→EE) & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

No sign in GE1
..

The  hairpins were inaccurately recreated in FE (→EE), whereas in GE1 they were most probably overlooked. In the subsequent GE the sign was added on the basis of analogous bars 18-19. In the main text we give the hairpins of A.

Staccato dots in A

Dots & accents in FE (→EE)

Accents in GE1 (→GE2)

L.H. accent in GE3 (→GE4)
..

Leaving the staccato dots in FE (→EE) is, according to us, a result of an inaccurately performed proofreading, whose aim was – same as in analogous bar 25 – to replace dots with accents. The dots were not included in GE, probably after comparison with bar 25. The absence of the accent in the R.H. is certainly an oversight of GE3 (→GE4).
