b. 287

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

The top notes of the chords on the 2nd beat of the bar, d1-f1, are written down in A (→GE→FE,FESB) on the top stave, as a result of which they came within range of the R.H. part octave sign. If they were to be included by the octave sign, it would be impossible to perform them with the L.H., which is clearly indicated by the stems and the beam shared with the f-b fourths. The awkward notation most probably resulted from the initial version of this tutti, written down in AsI. The unequivocal version adopted to the main text was also introduced by EE.

b. 287-288

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In AsI and A, accidentals were put only next to the top notes of the octaves – a  to a in bar 287 and naturals to e3, e and a  to g in bar 288. All necessary accidentals were already added by GE (→FE,EE).

As in analogous bars 120-123, the  hairpins were almost certainly added to A after [FC] had been finished, which explains their absence in FE (→EE1). In EE2 the marks were added on the basis of GE1, yet the first was reproduced inaccurately, omitting its ending in bar 288.

b. 287

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In FE the second half of the bar was written down using an abbreviation, as two crotchets with quaver tremolos. EE wrote this abbreviation in full, thus restoring – most probably unconsciously – the original notation.

Slur in EE and FE

No slur GC (→GE)
..

Absence of the slur in GC (→GE) is probably the result of the copyist's accidental omission.
