b. 212-213

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

2  in GC

1  in FE (→EE)

No signs in GE1

2  in GE2
..

The absence of the  signs (diminuendo/long accent) in the 2nd half of bar 212 and at the beginning of bar 213 is certainly a mistake by the engraver of GE1. Similarly, we consider the omission of the second of these signs in FE (→EE) to be an error. GE2 added both signs, however, the one in the 2nd half of bar 212, which in GC is placed slightly earlier than the neighbouring ones, was erroneously assigned to the 3rd chord.

b. 212

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

..

In FE the  lowering e2 to e2 was omitted here. This patent mistake, disturbing the progression running from bar 209, was corrected both in GE and EE.

b. 212

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

..

The last R.H. chord is devoid of accidentals, which results in c2-e()2-f2-a2. This is a patent mistake, as there is no doubt that it is a typical dominant seventh chord in B that should be used here. Both necessary naturals, to the outermost notes (c2 and a2), were added in GE, while in EE only the bottom one.

b. 212-214

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

In the main text we add cautionary accidentals to the bass minims at the beginning of bar 212 and 214 –  to B and  to g.

b. 212-214

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

..

In the main text we omit the unjustified flats (cautionary?) to a2 in bar 212, a1 in bar 213 and Ain bar 214, present in all sources. On the other hand, we add a cautionary  to B in bar 214. The latter was also introduced into GE (→FE,EE,IE).
