a3-a3 in FE

b3-a3 in GE, EE & FEH (contextual interpretation)

a3-b3 in FEH, literal reading

The version of FE is almost certainly erroneous: both the missing interval of an octave before the topmost note of the passage and repetition of this note disrupt the regular melodic and pianistic nature of the figuration – cf. analogous phrases in bars 221 and 228-231. The correction of the text in the remaining editions was most probably introduced on the basis of comparison with the analogous bars. Moreover, a correction is written also in FEH; however, it was not the sixth but the seventh semiquaver that was changed, probably by mistake.
