The text of FCI, containing an earlier version of the Prelude, differs, more or less, from the remaining sources. In further comments, we take into account the versions of FCI only where they may influence the interpretation of A and the determination of the main text; in a few cases, also where they constitute musically interesting alternative solutions with respect to the main text, yet consistent with the version intended for printing.
