## Commentary

Numerous preliminary drawings for the &lt;A onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/r/raphael/4stanze/1segnatu/2/05disput.html&#39;\)&#34; HREF=&#34;/html/r/raphael/4stanze/1segnatu/2/05disput.html&#34;&gt;Disputa&lt;/A&gt; survive. The astonishing thing about them is that they reveal an early, precise, and thoroughly planned draft version that lacks essential elements of the composition and certain accents on the subject matter.
