b. 259

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

D1 in EE & GC (→GE)

E1-D in FE1

Octave as a supposed FE1 version

D1-D in FE2
..

The seventh E1-D, written in two-part notation, is definitely an error of FE1 probably resulting from carelessly done proofing. We give the octave D1-D as the intended version of that edition, which results in a version analogous to bar 243. It is not entirely unlikely that the correction was only meant to be done for the D1 note alone, just like in the remaining sources. In FE2, E1 was changed to D1.

b. 259-265

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Pedalling in EE

No markings in GC (→GE)

Pedalling in FE

Our variant suggestion
..

The absence of pedal marks in GC (→GE) is most probably the copyist's error (see also note to bar 266). The pedalling of EE is probably authentic (cf. a similar solution in bars 268-271, confirmed both by EE and by GC). In FE, the placement of the  in bar 259 seems doubtful and we consider it to be an inaccuracy almost certainly resulting from faulty understanding of the hand-written base text , as well as the lack of space around the note D1 (cf. bar 267). In our main text we suggest two, most probably authentic, versions of pedalling (EE and FE modified in bar 259 ) as variants.
