L.H. part in FE (→GE)

L.H. part & slur in EE

The notation of the sources, in which the L.H. is written under the R.H. in a way suggesting that the run should start right after the b-g1 quaver is almost certainly erroneous. If performed so, the beginning of the passage, descending from d4 and clearly based on the C7 chord, would fall on the g-e1 quaver, constituting an E major chord along with the previous ones. Due to this reason, in the main text we distribute the L.H. part in accordance with the rhythmic values of the first two R.H. notes and with the harmonic sense of the figuration written in small notes.
Moreover, in the main text we suggest adding a L.H. slur after similar figures in the preceding bar as well as in b. 17-18. A slur, running from the first out of two semiquavers, was also added in EE.
The same in b. 201.

In FE the dyad of the bottom voice (e1-a1) is a crotchet. The patent mistake was corrected both in GE and EE. The same in b. 220.

Due to the graphic retouches performed in this fragment of the page, GE1a overlooked the demisemiquaver R.H. beams on the 2nd beat of the bar, as a result of which it contains 5 semiquavers. Similarly, the e2-e3 octave quaver flag was overlooked. See the description of this impression.

In EE1 the quintuplet is written with semiquavers, which is a mistake, corrected then in EE2.
