b. 20
In AsI the version of the 4th L.H. figure is the initial version – cf. bar 4. Meanwhile, the notation of the 1st figure is most probably erroneous – an e seventh never occurs at the beginning of a 4th bar, neither in the theme nor in any variation. The mistake is also indicated by the way the 4 identical groups were written down – the first 2 are written out with notes, while the abbreviations marking a repetition start only just from the 3rd figure, which suggests that the first two were not supposed to be identical.
