b. 369

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

..

In FE, there are no naturals before f​​​​​​​1, d1 (twice) and d. The necessary accidentals were added in GE and EE.

b. 369-370

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

F1 tied in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

F1 repeated in GE3
..

In FE (→GE1→GE2), the tie of F1 is present only in bar 169 (at the end of the line). EE corrected the patent defect, whereas GE3 completely omitted the tie, which is probably a mistake.

b. 369-370

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Separate slurs in A (contextual interpretation→FC)

Continuous slur in A (possible interpretation→FE→EE) & GE
..

In A the slur at the end of b. 369 clearly suggests continuation, which is not confirmed by the slur in b. 370, at the beginning of a new page. The notation of FC can also be regarded as misleading in that respect. A comparison with three analogous places, b. 268-269, 288-289 & 390-391, evidently supports inaccuracy of the slur in b. 369, pulled too far. Therefore, in the main text we give separated slurs, yet the version of the editions with a continuous slur may be considered an acceptable variant in this case.

b. 369-370

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In the main text we add cautionary accidentals in the first triplets in these bars:

  • flats to e2 in bars 369 and 370 and to e1 in bar 370;
  • naturals to a1 and c2 and c3 in bar 370.

All flats were added also in GE3.

b. 370-372

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Accent in EE

Short accents in GC

Double short accents in FE

Long accents in GE
..

In the main text we present the GC undisputable notation. No accent in b. 372 is an obvious omission in EE, and long accents in GE result form not thorough enough analysis of the GC notation (the difference in accents lenghth in bars 360-368 and 370-374 was overlooked). Double accents in FE may have come form a reviser.
