13 Dehner's tabulations are a little difficult to follow, since they refer to bar numbers, which are not in the manuscript. A published score must be used as a cross-reference. There also seems to be at least one misprint of a bar number. The ‘quick tempo Alberti bass patterns’ identified (in all three languages) as being in bars 122–4 of the first movement must refer to the earlier passage at bars 110–11.
