g-e1 in A, GE2op (→GE3op) & GE2no2

g-c1-e1 in FE (→EE,GE1op,GE1no2)

The chords on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar in FE (→EE,GE1op,GE1no2) is most probably a mistake – see bar 34. The introduction of sixths in later GE is certainly a revision unifying bars 34, 98 and 162, in this case, according to us, giving the correct result.
