In the main text we include the f semibreve present in A. It also appears in all sources of the orchestral part (in violas), including in the later record of this bar in AsI. The absence of that note in the editions most probably resulted from a mistake by the engraver of GE1; perhaps he was uncertain where to put it – more or less in the middle of the bar, as in A, or at the beginning of bar as required by the general rule of vertical alignment of notes played simulaneously.
These variants do not apply to the original version of the opening eight-bar period, written in AsI.
