b. 243

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

b with  in A (→FE→EE,GE)

b in GE1a

b without  suggested by the editors
..

The version of GE1a is most probably a mistake by the engraver, although one cannot completely exclude a revision – the cautionary  to b, present in the remaining sources, is not indispensable here and could have been considered erroneous. The engraver or reviser of GE1a was similarly overly zealous in, e.g. b. 232.
In A there is no  raising e1 to e1 in this chord. It is almost certainly a mistake – cf. e1 in b. 240-241 – corrected by FE (→GE,EE). In the main text we omit the cautionary  to b, more justified in the original layout, in which the first 5 quavers in the previous bar – to b – are written down on the bottom stave.

b. 243-244

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In the main text we add cautionary flats to E-e in bar 243 and to e-e1 in bar 244, not included in any of the sources of the version for one piano. However, the accidentals are in the bassoon part of AsI, and the first one is also in the double basses and in the cellos.

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

..

In EE redundant  was added before c1 in the LH part in bars 244, 246, 248, 250 and 252. In GE4  was only added in b. 244.

b. 244-252

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

..

We add cautionary  before c2 in RH in bars 244, 246, 248, 250 and 252. Similar addition was made in EE (in all those bars) and in GE4 (only in bars 244, 246 and 248).

b. 244-245

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No pedal change in EE, GC (→GE) & FE

Our alternative suggestion
..

Our suggestion for adding pedal marks results from comparison with subsequent, similar passages. In similar fragments (bars 252-253, 260-261 and 268-269) pedal changes are noted in some sources (FE).
