What edition are we using? I have the “Chester” score and in mm 46, the high voice alternates between a, and b; not a, and g. Thoughts?

On Brouwer's Tonebase lesson on Un Día de Noviembre, Brouwer mentioned that "When writing for film, Brouwer strives to avoid what he refers to
as "banalities." Essentially, when some musical aspect is
recognized as nice (such as Major or Minor 7th chords), it can
often become abused and repeated over and over by film
composers. The use of banalities is something that Brouwer
always tries to avoid", However, there are a few major 7th chords in this piece, namely, bar 16 F Major 7, (from Brouwer's own recording the base notes F, C, A with melody note A), bar 46 another F Major 7 chord (F, A, C, E). Any insights?
