Quaver & rests in AsI & GE2 (→GE3,FESB)

Empty staff in A (→GE1EE1)

Quaver in EE2 (→EE3)

In A (→GE1EE) the top stave remained unfilled in this bar, which did not attract the engraver's attention in GE1 (→EE1). The mistake was corrected by FE and GE2 (→GE3,FESB) by introducing notes and rests, as a result of which the complete record is compliant with the sound of the orchestra and present already in AsI. The correct text was also introduced by EE2 (→EE3), in which the rests filling this bar on the top stave were omitted. This kind of notation, more clearly indicating that the bass octave motif should be performed with two hands, could be even considered more convenient, particularly since this is how the next bars are written down (without rests on the top stave).
