Yes, and he liked “blind octaves” a lot too! (ending of 10/8)
Btw I don’t agree with Fried that 10/1 is musically the most insignificunt of the set of 24…it’s personal but I’d rather give 10/2 or 25/8 that “prize”.

Some of the descending / reset figures in 25/8 and 10/2 sound like deliberate self parody of the material.

Da friedrice 3435 fingering all da way thru randomly demands dat rewrite (which creates parallel octs with da LH n dun sound gud)
Better not to play dat song at all den rewrite da 4-part voice leading like that
He’d say “33 days” just to get some Masonic references going
