in bar 1 in FE (→EE)

It is unclear how the difference in the placement of the initial  indication occurred. Perhaps it is just a difference in the interpretation of a mark written between the upbeat and the beginning of bar 1 – cf., e.g. the autograph of the Prelude in A, Op. 28 No. 7. In the main text we put the mark in accordance with the principal source, that is FC.
