In these bars the version of FCI clearly deviates from the final one – different harmonic rhythm in b. 54 and different shape of the melody in b. 55-56. We can also observe small changes to the arrangement of chords and enharmonic notation.

At the beginning of b. 79, in FCI we can see a d2 crotchet combined with a tie to a d2 note in the previous bar, while the R.H. part is written down with the use of two-part notation already in this bar. A d2 crotchet is also at the beginning of b. 81, yet there is no d1, 1st bottom voice quaver.
