b. 338

..

In FE (→GE), there are sharps (reminding?) before d2 and f2 on the 5th semiquaver of the bar. We remove them in the main text, since both notes (f2 and d3) are present in the previous bar. The marks were removed also in EE.

The musical sense requires that the accents featured in bars 342, 344 and 346-348 concern both hands, which was, however, marked with separate accents in FE only in bars 342 and 347. In GE1 (→GE2), this notation was repeated, except for bar 344, in which the accent (long) was placed between the staves, thus, it applies to both hands. In EE and GE3, accents for the L.H. were added in all the places where they were absent. In the main text, we order and unify the inconsistent and most probably inaccurate notation of FE, placing one accent between the parts of both hands in each of the five places (cf. the notation of  marks).

FE are devoid of staccato dots under the quavers, which must be regarded as a mistake in this context. The marks were added in GE and EE.
