In AsI in these bars, there is no indication that the bass line should be doubled an octave lower. It is likely that it is not an earlier version but a simplified, incomplete record, hence we do not regard it as a full-fledged variant. In all the remaining sources, the bass line is led in octaves, generally written down with the use of con 8va starting:
- from the 1st octave in bar 240 to the 1st octave in bar 246 in A,
- from the 2nd octave in bar 240 to the end of bar 245 in the editions.
