Jan 11, 2021 at 16:35 comment added user1079505 "he's not composing any more". How lazy of him! Compare with Beethoven! assets.classicfm.com/2017/45/… Other than that, I'd say C seems more likely to me, but the best would be to compare with other editions or performances...
Jan 11, 2021 at 16:11 comment added Tim @musicamante - yes, I know what you mean. Had it been written now, either would be acceptable. Then, most likely, the 'rules' were rules, and adhered to religiously. I'm listening to it with 21st Century ears - which is probably the wrong set...
Jan 11, 2021 at 15:46 comment added musicamante Normally I'd agree, but there's an important point: the last bar at the end of the section has a chromatic passage exactly for that C. While it could be considered "not wrong" in the concept of harmony, having a C# at the beginning of that bar wouldn't make a lot of sense, especially considering the composition style: reintroducing the natural C (which is from the restored original key) only there, with a following chromatic passage note, is a bit "off", as modulations in such a classical manierism are usually strictly "academic", and the new (old) alteration are rarely introduced that late.
