b. 24

		Minim d¹ & 2 crotchets in As
		Crotchet d¹ & 2 crotchets in AI
		Minim d¹ & crotchet in AII
		Crotchet d¹ & crotchet in AIII
		Crotchet d & sixth in A (→FE→GE,EE)
		Crotchet d, sixth & chord in As, alternative version, probable interpretation
		Crotchet d & 2 sixths in As, alternative version, possible interpretation
		Crotchet d, sixth & crotchet d in As, another alternative version

The bar has a different form in each of the previous autographs. The differences concern the rhythmic value of the first d¹ and the crotchet – or its absence – on the 3rd beat of the bar. The given variants (the first four) cannot be combined with the main text in the note to bars 21-24, i.e. the version of these bars included in A (→FE→GE,EE). In turn, the last four variants given here apply to that version – the main text (conveyed by A and the editions) and alternative versions written in the first scheme of As (see the next note). On the other hand, the variants cannot be combined with the version of bars 21-24 included in the previous autographs.
