  b. 22-23

No dashes in A (→FE→EE)

Dashes in FC (→GE)

The range of cresc. having been extended until the very end of b. 23 in FC (→GE) is a mistake of the copyist, who led the dashes marking its range to the end of the line, just like in A; however, he did not realize that the end of the line is placed differently in each of the manuscripts – in A in b. 21, whereas in FC – in b. 23.
