..

The version of PE1 (→PE2) – f in bar 111 and d in bar 111/135 – must contain an error in one of these bars, as the second place was almost certainly marked in [A] as a repetition of the first. The structure of the accompaniment figures in this episode suggests that the mistake was made the second time. An appropriate correction – probably based on a comparison with bar 111 – was introduced in GE and PE3 (→PE4).

No markings in main text

In PE, at the beginning of bar 115, there is a  mark, which is not followed by any pedal markings until the end of the line in bar 118. It is most probably a mistake, partially corrected in GE, in which a  was added under the 3rd crotchet in bar 115. As in bars 113-114, in the main text we omit the pedal markings here – see bars 17-24.

B1 in sources

g suggested by the editors
..

In PE the 1st L.H. note is undoubtedly an erroneous B1 instead of g, which is present in all analogous bars. It resulted from an accidental, excessive change of clefs – in this edition the L.H. part in bars 113-118 is written down – unlike in all the previous appearances of this phrase – with the use of a treble clef for the 2nd and 3rd beats of bars 113-116 and for entire bars 117-118: . It can be seen that if it were not for the bass clef at the end of bar 115, the text would be correct. The mistake remained unnoticed also in GE.

b. 120

composition: WN 29, Waltz in E minor

..

In the main text we add a slur after analogous bars 16 and 48, since its absence here almost certainly resulted from inattention – see bar 115.

Pedalling in both passages suggested by the editors
..

A two-bar pedal is marked in the sources only the first time this section appears (bars 97-98). It is most probably an oversight, hence in the main text we include (by means of the repeat sign) the marks given the first time in both places.
