In each of three analogous bars (bars 319-321), the sources feature a cautionary  before the 1st semiquaver of the 3rd beat. According to us, when the figure is repeated, in bars 320-321, the marks are no more necessary.

..

In the main text, we omit the  (reminding?) before the 2nd semiquaver f1. A mark in this place is totally unjustified, particularly in the sources in which a cautionary  at the same pitch is present 4 notes before.

..

In the main text, we omit the reminding  present in all sources before the 11th semiquaver in the L.H., c1. In turn, we add a cautionary  before the 2nd semiquaver in the R.H. (g1) and a before the 5th semiquaver b1. The first mark was added already in GE, together with a poorly justified  before the f2 crotchet.

..

In FE (→EE1), there is no  restoring a2 in the last pair of semiquavers. This patent inadvertence was added in GE and EE2 (→EE3). In the same editions, a cautionary  before the 5th semiquaver a1 was also added, which we include in the main text, as well as a  before c3, which does not seem to be necessary. In turn, we preserve the formally unnecessary  before e2 in the 5th pair of semiquavers, present in all editions.

..

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before f3 and naturals before a3 and b1 at the end of the bar. The first two marks were added already in GE and EE. On the other hand, we omit the cautionary  before g3, present in the sources.
