e3 in A (literal reading→GE→FE1)

e3 & e3 in EE

Just like in bars 422-423, the flats lowering e3 to e3 and the cautionary  before e2 in the L.H. in bar 463 prove that the version of A (→GE→FE1), interpreted literally, is erroneous. In EE, a respective  is only in bar 463 (together with a  before e2), which is probably a result of an oversight of the sign in bar 462.

b. 464-466

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

in bar 466 in FE (→GE)

in bar 464 in EE
..

It is hard to state what led to the pedal release mark being placed two bar earlier in EE. It could be a mistake.

No mark in EE

FE

In the main text we present slightly longer hairpins of FE (cf. the mark in bars 450-453). No  in EE must result from omission.

b. 469-471

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

There is no accidental before the last note in b. 469 and before the penultimate one in b. 471 in A. This patent inaccuracy was corrected by Fontana in FC (→GE). Initially, both bars were deprived of the marks in FE; moreover, in b. 469 the discussed note was printed an octave too high (perhaps considering the use of an octave sign). That version was passed on to EE1, which added only the  in b. 471. In FE in the last phase of proofreading the note in b. 469 was moved to the right pitch, adding a  next to it, yet the mark in b. 471 was not added. In EE2 (→EE3) the pitch of the last note in b. 469 was corrected in accordance with the logic of the passage's structure, yet the  was not added.

b. 476-477

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No tie in EE & GE

B tied in GC & FE
..

No tied H in EE seems to have been overlooked. The GC notation is imprecise - at the end of b. 476 (the last one one the page) there is no tie, but it appears in b. 477. However, in GE the tie was not included.
