In the majority of the sources, there are inaccuracies concerning the notation of accidentals, not having an impact on the interpretation of the text. In AI, A (→CDP) and FE, there are no naturals before the 3rd note in the L.H. (a) and the 4th note in the R.H. (e1), while in EE1, there is no  before the 3rd note in the R.H. (c2). GE and EE2 (→EE3) have the correct text. In some of the sources, there are additional cautionary accidentals – naturals before A in the middle of the bar and a1 in the last group in AI and before c3 in GE3 (→#GE4).
