Quaver e2 in FE (→EE1)

Semiquaver e2 in GE & EE2 (→EE3)

The rhythm of GE was introduced as a correction in print (it is proved by: the layout and alignment of the chords in the L.H. as well as the use of a dotted rest and not two rests), most probably as a result of a comparison with the beginnings of analogous phrases of the piano part. However, in the orchestral part (bars 25 and 29), the motif has the same rhythm as FE (→EE1); therefore, there is no reason to suspect a mistake. Summoning this rhythmic variant also in the solo part is justified by further, different development of the phrase, e.g. by the exclusive use of quavers in a similar motif in the 2nd half of bar 395. In EE2 (→EE3), the version with semiquaver was introduced almost certainly on the basis of comparison with GE.
