b. 337

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

..

In A there is no  raising f1 to f1 and  raising a to a. Both accidentals were added in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 337-338

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Slur to A in A, literal reading

Slur to F in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

When interpreted literally, the range of the A slur is musically unjustified (regardless of whether we consider it to be reaching B or A). In the main text we include the interpretation adopted to GE (→FE,EE,IE), most natural in this context.

b. 337-340

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

No fingering in A (→GE→FE,IE)

Fingering in EE
..

In the main text, we do not include the inauthentic L.H. fingering added by EE.

b. 338

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

..

In FE (→GE), there are sharps (reminding?) before d2 and f2 on the 5th semiquaver of the bar. We remove them in the main text, since both notes (f2 and d3) are present in the previous bar. The marks were removed also in EE.

b. 338-339

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

FE (→EE)

GE
..

The version of GE, contrary to the orchestral part of FEorch (→GEorch) – in the last chord in bar 338, bassoon I, violas, oboe II and flute II do not have a b (in various octaves), but a c​​​​​​​, while in the 1st chord in bar 339, violins II, clarinets and oboe II have a f1(2) – is almost certainly completely erroneous. The traces visible in FE prove that those mistakes were originally committed in that edition, yet they were corrected in the last phase of proofreading.
