Tied g​​​​​​​1 in FE (→GE,EE)

No g​​​​​​​1 in bar 224 in FEH
..

The crossing-out of the tied g​​​​​​​1 note at the beginning of the bar visible in FEH may indicate a variant – cf. analogous bar 228. It was probably meant to simplify the performance, since omission of the tie, sonically practically unnoticeable, enables the f1-g1 second to be performed with the 1st finger, which, in turn, allows for an easier fingering of the upper voice. However, it cannot be excluded that the crossing-out was only supposed to suggestively signalise that this note should not be played simultaneously with the e1-e2 octave, which is indicated by a few similar crossings-out – see bars 294-295 as well as 334-335, 370-371, 377-378.

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.

In FEH, a '1' was initially written over the 2nd quaver (by mistake?  – cf. bar 228), which was then changed to a '5'.
