No mark in FE (→GE1→GE2, →EE1→EE2)

Short accent in GE3 & EE3

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

Accents are present in 11 similar figures of this and previous, analogous phrases, so that the missing mark in the indicated place must be considered an inaccuracy. In the main text, we add a long accent in accordance with the accents used in FE. The short accent added in GE3 and EE3 corresponds to the accents adopted in those editions.

The missing ​​​​​​​ marks are a patent inaccuracy, hence in the main text we suggest adding them after the two previous bars. The marks were added already in EE (in EE1 only in bar 147) and GE3.

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

The fingerings of FEH and EE differ in the initial part of the figuration – in the former the hand immediately adjusts to the ascending part of the passage (the 3rd finger implicitly on b1), while the use of the 1st finger on a1 prepares a slightly more convenient grip of the g1-e2 sixth.

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

In spite of differences, the indications of both sources probably represent the same fingering. A possible difference may concern only the 1st semiquaver of bar 152 – the missing marking in EE suggests the use of the 2nd finger, which is more natural for this scheme.
