In A, the flat restoring e is written with pencil; therefore, its authenticity is uncertain (see the characterization of A). There is no corresponding sign before the bottom note of this octave in A. The flats are present in all parts of Morch performing this line and in analogous bar 23. The editions feature the correct text.
