A1 in #C (→GE) & EE3

B1 in FE & EE2 (→EE3)

The version with A1, present in GC (→GE) and EE3, is almost certainly erroneous:

  • while copying 8 groups 4 semiquavers each in bars 89-90, the copyist, instead of the fourth, fifth and sixth group (the lowest notes B1A1E1), rewrote the fifth, sixth and seventh (A1E1A1);
  • the mistake was then noticed, yet only partially – two erroneous notes in bar 90 were corrected, yet A1 in bar 89 was left without correction. It is not certain who performed this correction – certain graphical features of the added A1 note at the beginning of bar 90, as well as the way in which the 5th note of this bar was "remade" are characteristic rather for Gutmann.
