Semiquaver in GE1 (→GE2)

The version of GE1 (→GE2) must be erroneous – cf. analogous bar 536. The engraver must have looked, by mistake, at the line below and placed here the ending of bar 185, looking alike.

..

In the sources, a cautionary  was repeated before the 2nd grace note in bar 186, which, according to us, is not necessary. In bar 190 in FE (→EE), there are no naturals before any of the grace notes, which the engraver of GE considered to be an inaccuracy requiring an intervention. In the main text, we suggest naturals before the first grace note in each of these bars.

Slur from b2 in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slur from b1 in EE & GE3
..

A comparison with the slurs of similar figures of this section (from bar 179) proves that the slur of FE (→GE1→GE2) is inaccurate, which, actually, could have had its origin in the careless notation of [A]. In the main text, we include the corresponding correction introduced in EE and GE3.

The version of GE1 (→GE2) – certainly erroneous, cf. bars 186, 541 and 545 as well as 182 and 537 – probably came into being as a result of an overzealous action of the reviser who added here cautionary naturals before the g2 grace notes. The mistake was corrected in GE3.
