Semibreves in FE (→EE1)

Minims in GE and EE2

..

In FE (→EE1) the third a1-c2 is a semibreve. Most probably it is an error of the engraver of FE1. In the main text we give the undoubtedly correct text of GE and EE2. Similarly in bars 35 and 43.

b. 60

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

..

In FE1 there are no naturals before the 5th and 7th quavers (both are necessary in the layout adopted in this edition). The signs were added in FE2. The correct text is also in EE and GE (with one natural f).

Less likely reading of the slur in FE1

More likely reading of the slur in FE1

Slur in FE2 & EE1

Slurs in GE & EE2

..

According to us, the end of the slur in FE1 is printed inaccurately; the slur in bar 67, which is in the next line, suggests to continue the slur from the previous bar. However, both in FE2 and EE it was the scope of the slur in bar 66 that was assumed as the correct one. Moreover, in those editions the whole sign was moved under the notes, which is almost certainly contrary to the notation of [A1]. The slurs of GE present probably a slightly different version of this place in [A2]. The version of EE2 is a compilation of the notation of EE1 and GE.
In the main text we give the most probable interpretation of the slur of FE1; we consider that version the closest to the authentic notation among all source versions.

Crotchet g in FE (→EE1)

Dotted crotchet in GE & EE2

..

In the main text we give the more precise notation of GE. Lack of a dot in FE (→EE1) may be a result of the engraver's inattention. In EE2 a dot was added on the basis of the version of GE.

Rhythmic notation in FE

Our suggestion

..

In the main text we make the notation of the 2nd half of bar 70 and 74 more precise, following the undoubtedly correct and precise notation of FE1 in bar 8 and GE in bar 22.
