Slur from f​​​​​​​2 in EE

Slur from g​​​​​​​2 in GE3

The slur of FE (→GE1→GE2) is most probably inaccurate – in all analogous places, the respective slur begins earlier, from the first or second semiquaver. In the main text, we adopt the former solution (introduced also in GE3) – see bar 30.

A later beginning of the ​​​​​​​ mark in GE1 (→GE2) must be an inaccuracy resulting from having divided these bars into two great staves. GE3 prolonged the mark yet did not repeat its range from FE.

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before f3. The accidental was added only in GE3. Interestingly, FE includes a cautionary  before f​​​​​​​1 in the L.H., which was not repeated both in GE and EE1 (→EE2). The accidental may have been added in the last phase of proofreading, which would explain its absence in GE; in EE, it was overlooked or considered unnecessary (it was added in EE3).

2 slurs from 2nd note in FE

Different slurs in GE1 (→GE2) & EE

2 slurs from first note in GE3
..

Two subsequent slurs starting later than in the adjacent figures must be an inaccuracy of FE, partially repeated in GE1 (→GE2) and EE. In the main text, we move the beginnings of the slurs to over the 1st semiquaver, in accordance with the musical sense and analogous figures. Such a revision was introduced already in GE3.

FE, literal reading

FE, contextual interpretation

FE, different interpretation

GE & EE
..

When interpreted literally, the ambiguous, in terms of rhythmic values and division into parts, notation of FE may have a few possible versions. It is the interpretation based on a possible reconstruction of the notation of [A], rhythmically consistent, that we adopt as both the text of FE and the main text.
