b. 438-439

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur to g in A (→FC,FE→EE)

Slur to bar 439 in GE1

No slur in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The slur in FC resembles the slur of A, yet it is slightly longer, which misled the engraver of GE1. The subsequent GE omitted that slur, which, from the point of view of the reviser of GE2, was a reasonable decision: among 16 bars featuring b-e1 on the 2nd crotchet and g on the third one, it is only here that FC and GE1 feature a slur, which could seem a mistake.

Wedge in A

Dot in GE

No mark in FE (→EE)
..

The wedge written in A was inaccurately reproduced in GE as a dot. The omission of the sign in FE (→EE) must be a mistake.

Long accent in FE

Short accent in GE & EE

Wedges in FE (→EE)

Staccato dot in L.H. in GE
..

Both the change of a wedge for a dot over the L.H. quaver, and the lack of mark in the R.H. are most probably the result of negligence of the engraver of GE.
