  b. 35-37

g-g1 in GC (→GE) & FE (→EE1)

g-g1 suggested by the editors

g-g1 in EE2

In the majority of the sources there are no accidentals before the 5th quaver in bars 35-36 and 3rd quaver in bar 37, which means that both these notes and their repetitions are to be interpreted as g-g1. The naturals added in EE2 are an arbitrary revision, probably aiming at bringing these bars – as far as the sound is concerned – to the F minor key and its dominant chords c-e-g-b and e-g-b-d.
In the main text, in bar 35 we add cautionary flats before these notes.
