In the chord in the middle of the bar, GE1 has a b crotchet instead of an a minim, whereas the f minim is assigned to the L.H. The reviser of GE2 corrected only the pitch of that note, leaving the erroneous rhythmic value and division into parts. It is unclear how those mistakes occurred, yet the correctness of the version of FE (→EE) is unquestionable.
