b. 306-308

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

Slur in bara 306-308 in A

Slur to bar 309 in GE1 (→FE)

Different slurs in both hands in EE

Slurs to bar 309 in GE2
..

The slur of GE1 reaches beyond the bar line, which most probably resulted from the common carelessness of the engraver; however, as a result of this, in the remaining editions the slur was led to the chord in bar 309.
Same as before in bars 293-304, the slurs in the L.H. are most probably an addition of the revisers of EE and GE2, whereas the slur in EE ends on the last quaver in bar 308 (differently than the slur in the R.H.).

b. 306-307

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

No slur in FE (→EE1→EE2, →GE1→GE2)

Slur in GE3 & EE3

Same slur suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest adding a slur after analogous bars 290-291. The slur was added already in EE3 and GE3.

b. 306

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In A the  before the middle note of the L.H. chord is placed clearly too low, which in this case could have been due to the intention of avoiding collision with the bar line. Fontana correctly interpreted the meaning of that mark in FC (→GE); however, in FE the sharp was initially ascribed to the bottom note of the chord, g. That erroneous version got to EE1 and was then corrected through the addition of a proper  both in the last phase of proofreading of FE and in EE2 (→EE3).

b. 306

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Arpeggio sign in A

No sign in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)
..

The missing arpeggio must be an oversight of the copyist and the engraver of FE: the mark in A is inconspicuous, since it is atypically placed between the accidentals, and not notes.

b. 306-307

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In the sources the L.H. octaves are written down in an abridged manner – under the line of their top notes, a con 8va indication or its equivalent is placed:

We reproduce this notation, not very exact, only in the graphic transcription – we leave the determination of whether the indication applies only to the sequence of the bass voice and not to the bottom notes of the R.H. part to the judgement of the performer.
