There is no  before the top note of the last octave in the L.H. – undoubtedly a g – in GC and FE (→EE1).

In GC and FE (→EE1) there are no naturals raising e1 to e1 in the 3rd crotchet in bar 143 and e3 to e3 in the 6th quaver in bar 144. The first of them was added in FED, both were added in GE and EE2.

GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3) lack seven naturals before the notes, which were previously already correctly written in another octave. These patent inaccuracies do not impede the interpretation and they were completed in the subsequent sources to a varied extent. It is only GE that has the correct text. Similarly in the next bars.

Similarly as in the previous bars, GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3) lack seven accidentals before the notes which were previously already correctly written in another octave. These patent inaccuracies do not impede the interpretation and they were completed in the subsequent sources to a varied extent (including FED, in which a  before the top note of the 3rd crotchet in bar 150 was added). It is only EE2 that has the fully correct text.
