Quaver g in AI

Semiquaver in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Semiquaver g in GE3

The g note present in AI and in all analogous bars 4, 12 and 80 and in bars 2, 10, 70 and 78 proves that we are most probably dealing with a Terzverschreibung in FE. The b note featured in this edition does not raise any doubts in terms of harmony – B or b notes are present in chords on the 2nd beat of the bar in the majority of analogous bars – as a result of which they were repeated in almost all subsequent editions. The exception is GE3, in which – most probably on the basis of a comparison with analogous bars – g was introduced, and this is the version we adopt to the main text.
The AI quaver having been replaced by a semiquaver in the published version – see bar 70.
