b. 212

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

Accent in FE (→EE)

No mark in GE
..

The missing accent in GE is probably an oversight of the engraver of GE1, although the mark could have also been added only just in the last proofreading of FE.

The fingering of FED in bar 216 expands upon the indication from bar 212; hence, in the main text we give it together already for the first time. Similarly, the digit written in FEH in bar 213 complements the indications from bar 212. The fingerings in those copies differ in the first digit only; however, it may mark a different fingering of the entire sequence of semiquavers, since the digits in FED may be ascribed both to the left and right hand. In the former, the continuation would be the same as in FEH, while in the final part, perhaps the same as in EE. In the latter, the continuation (with the L.H.) could be completely different –  – although, obviously, it is not the only possibility. Generally, comparison of the fingering of those three sources is based mainly on assumptions, since the ranges of particular indications do not overlap, or they overlap to a negligible extent.

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.
