Fontana and the engraver of FE1 misinterpreted that correction by considering it a deletion of the accidental, hence FC (→GE) and FE1 does not contain any accidental before that note, which gives b1. When the figure is repeated an octave higher (at the beginning of b. 23) in FC (→GE), there is also no , which can be explained by an oversight (it would be a puzzling coincidence!) or by a revision, introduced in the belief that it is also here that the alleged crossing-out from b. 22 should be taken into account. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Errors resulting from corrections , FE revisions , Errors of FC |
