No c1 in chord in FC (→GE) & EE

c1 in chord in FE

The version without c1 in the last chord is probably a result of misinterpretation of [A]. There is no reason, neither sound nor piano, which would justify the distortion of regularity of the harmonic progression in this place. Moreover, the slurs over the pairs of chords in bars 73-76 also prove a slightly more accurate development of the text of FE in this fragment.
