G-b-e in A (→FC,FE→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)

E-b-B in GE1

In GE1 a mistake was committed twice in analogous phrases – in b. 53 and 61, i.e. on the 3rd beat of the bar, the preceding triplet was repeated. The reason could have been the confusion of similar pairs of bars 50-51 and 52-53 (and 58-59 and 60-61, respectively) and the distraction – the abridged markings of some repeated figures used in the manuscripts. The mistakes were corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
