Quaver b in GC (→GE) & EE1

Crotchet d1 in FE & EE2

Crotchet & quaver in EE3

The extension of d1 in the 5th octave and deletion of b in the 6th quaver are the last of the changes, introduced probably in the proofreading of FE, separating an additional melodic line within the octaves. EE2 adopted the changes, yet EE3 – most probably under the influence of GE – reintroduced the b note. Similarly in bar 80.
