In FE (→EE1) the double grace note before the 3rd crotchet in the bar is A-B, which is a mistake and which results in two identical notes. The error was rectified in EE2.

In the main text we suggest the markings of FE for the chordal section starting from the syncopated crotchet; there is a possibility to add the staccato dot from GE in analogous b. 25. At the same time, we correct the third accent, which was misplaced, i.e. it was put over the first chord in b. 284 (which is tied!). EE1 repeated the mistake of FE and also overlooked the slur (which was added in EE2).

Like in b. 274, the majority of the sources lack the  restoring g2 in the last octave in the bar. The mistake was corrected only in EE2 (→EE3) by adding sharps next to both notes of that octave. In the main text we add only the necessary  next to g2.

FE1 lacks both the  raising e1 to e1 at the beginning of the bar, and the  restoring e1 two quavers later. In EE1 only a  before the 1st quaver was added, while in FE2 was also added only a , but before the 3rd quaver! Therefore, it was either misplaced or supposed to be a . The text of GE and EE2 (→EE3) is correct.
