  b. 33

Pause over R.H. in A (→FC→GE)

Two pauses in FE (→EE)

In the main text we include the revision of FE (→EE), since the chords of both hands are certainly supposed to last equally long. The missing fermata in FCI, unless it is an oversight of the copyist, probably proves that this detail was not fully developed in the autograph on which the copy was based.

See the Prelude No. 1 in C Major, b. 34.
