The manuscripts conveying the text of [A2] are pretty united on the range of the dynamic hairpins in these bars (A1 is devoid of such marks). The whole-bar marks of EL are an arbitrary decision of Kolberg or the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Scope of dynamic hairpins , Balakirev's revisions , Revisions in EL |

The initial version of A1 was corrected still in this autograph (inaccurately – the penultimate L.H. quaver, b, remained unchanged), whereas the sources based on [A2] already contain the changed version (regardless of the rhythmic changes). The version of EL may be Kolberg's revision after the analogy with b. 22. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors resulting from corrections , Errors of A , Corrections of AI , Kolberg's revisions , Revisions in EL |

In CJ and CK the accent in b. 30 is clearly shorter than the mark in b. 29, hence we interpret them as a short and long accent, respectively. It is compliant with the harmonic and rhythmic context of the accented notes – e2 in b. 29 creates a tense delay, whereas d2 in b. 30 is merely a dance syncopation. In CB and EL the mark in b. 29 was reproduced as a diminuendo hairpin; moreover, EL extended it so that it fills the entire 2nd half of the bar (cf. b. 23-24). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Scope of dynamic hairpins , Balakirev's revisions , Revisions in EL |

In the main text and the substantive transcription of A1 we add a cautionary before b. The accidental was also added in EL. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Revisions in EL |

In the main text we stick to the notation of CJ, since Kolberg could have moved the indication dim. so that it does not contradict the continuation of the dynamics, valid half a bar ago. Such a literal interpretation of these indications would also explain the omission of dim. in EL. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Kolberg's revisions , Revisions in EL |
