Misc. Notes:

Some of them are out of order. The key sequence should be chromatic with each major key followed by its subdominant minor (C, f, Db, f#, D, g, etc.) Thus the correct order (going by the numbers given in this edition) should be: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 9, 14, 12, 13, 16, 17, 15, 18, 20, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25.
