Præludium Es Dur (L 17)

The next compositin from manuscript Becker III.8.63 is a prelude in E flat major. I sometimes wonder how close the versions in manuscript Becker III.8.63 are to Seger's original compositions. This prelude in E flat major is clearly a four part compositions, probably intended to be played with the pedals. The four part texture is often reduced to a three part texture for no apparent reason. Perhaps this was done to make it easier to play it with hands alone? In the score I have indicated with small notes some possibilities to maintain the four part texture in sme spots where the version in the manuscripts omits the fourth part.
