f1 crotchet in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)

f1 crotchet in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)

The version in which the last f1 of the upper voice is a quaver comes from the later of the two versions of the orchestral introduction recorded in #ApI – see bars 1-8. This is a holdover from the earlier version that ends with the motif g1-f1 in the  rhythm. In the main text we provide the final version of A and the first editions.
