Do you think that is the only explanation/interpretation? That final transition really sounds very un-Weiss like. Is the Crawford edition explanation that the chordal runs on the last line should be inserted just before the cadence definitive? Perhaps the scribe was messing around with ways to arpeggiate other chords? Are there other examples of this placeholder annotation in other Weiss facsimilies?
