b. 21

composition: Op. 28 No. 11, Prelude in B major

Long, tied grace note in A

Short, not tied grace note in FC (→GE)

, no grace note in FE (→EE1)

 & grace note in EE2
..

We reproduce the grace note and the curved lines in principle after the notation of A, in which, however, the slur running from the grace note to the f2 minim is led under the notes and overlaps with the tie of the grace note, pointing downwards. It confused the interpreters of A:

  • in FC (→GE) the copyist omitted both slur and tie and provided the grace note with a conventional form of a slashed quaver, which was typical of him;
  • the engraver of FE (→EE1) combined the grace note and the overlapping slur and tie in one mark – .

EE2 supplemented the FE version with a grace note taken from GE1.
