I find several, especially when I play all the repeats ;-). Besides the
ultra-wide thirds, there's also the g" against the g natural which must
have sounded "harsh" to the editor (Moroney), who suggests mellowing this
measure down with a g natural in the bass. But I prefer the harshness to
the blandness.
