The added chords in this and e.g. bars 2, 5, and 6, were copied by many subsequent editors, and, until recent times, by most performers.

The fingering of these bars, with upward portamenti, is followed by most later editors, as are the dynamic alternations and signs for repeated down bows.

This suggests a rather unexpected style of bowing. Presumably David expected the two demisemiquavers (32nds) to be played with a thrown ricochet stroke near the point and the semiquavers (16ths) to be executed on the string. The group of demisemiquavers at the end of the bar were probably expected to be played with a single ricochet bowing beginning at the point. While David appears never to have indicated this style of bowing in Viennese classical works, he employed it in other baroque pieces.
