composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

In AsI the L.H. part is marked in an abridged manner with the word unisono, written in every bar. The alternative L.H. part is written on the same stave, which we change for better legibility of the transcription: we separate the parts by placing the alternative one on an additional stave, as was performed by the other sources.

In A the  hairpin's arms are of different length, hence their intended range remains unclear. To the A text we adopt the range marked by the top arm, which was written first. This is the version we give in the main text. However, the version adopted by GE, based on the range of the bottom arm, can be considered an equal variant. In these sources cresc. begins only just in bar 157. The FE (→EE) version is probably also authentic, in which there is only one crescendo indication instead of two, that is cresc. from bar 156.

Wedge in FE

No markings in GE & EE
..

The absence of the marks in GE and EE must be due to oversight, partially caused by the FE layout, in which the wedge was placed very close to the dashes marking the range of the octave sign. A similar situation occurred in bar 151.
