..

A and the remaining sources contain 3 poorly justified cautionary accidentals in this bar – flats before e1 and e2 and a  before f2. We omit them in the main text; in turn, we add a  raising g1 to g1, which is necessary and which was overlooked in A. The sharp was added both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE).
Moreover, FE overlooked the  raising f to f, which was corrected in EE.
