b. 364-365

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Slur to G1-G in A, contextual interpretation

Slur to B1-B in GE (→FE,EE)
..

The range of the slur is not entirely clear in A, yet the slur goes beyond the bar line and points to the G1-G octave as the end point. In spite of that, in GE (→FE,EE) it encompasses only the last 3 quavers in bar 364. The engraver could have been influenced by the two previous slurs, which clearly encompassed the last quaver within their range. The interpretation suggested by us is supported by a slur correction in a similar motif a bar earlier and by the shape of the initial, three-quaver slur in that motif, radically different from the discussed one.

b. 365

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

No marking in FE (→GE1→GE2)

​​​​​​​in EE & GE3

..

The missing ​​​​​​​ mark must be considered an inaccuracy, hence, after EE and GE3, we add it in the main text.

b. 365

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

​​​​​​​ in FE (→EE)

No sign in GE

​​​​​​​ suggested by the editors
..

The range of the  hairpin in FE (→EE) is questionable – it is disproportionately short to the descending part of the passage, which lasts the entire bar. A possible reason for that inaccuracy could be lack of space under the low-placed beam of the 3rd triplet in [A]. In the main text, we suggest a mark modelled after the more carefully marked passage in bars 356-357. The absence of the mark in GE is most probably attributable to an oversight.

b. 365

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In all editions except for GE2 the whole-bar rest was specified with the digit 1, one (FE and GE3) or two (GE1 and EE).

b. 365-366

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Wedge & 11 staccato dots in A

12 wedges in GE (→EE)

13 wedges in FE

3 wedges in FESB
..

The change of dots to wedges is a revision of GE (→FE,EE,FESB), while the additional wedge in FE – a mistake.
