b. 59

The accent in A, certainly written as long, was recreated as short in the editions. We adopt the notation of the autograph.

The sources differ in the range of the crescendo hairpins. In A the beginning is placed under the 1st crotchet in bar 59, while the ending reaches the 1st beat in bar 60. This is the variant we adopt in the main text. In GE the hairpins are slightly moved to the right, while in EE they begin only under the 2nd crotchet. In FE the notation of hairpins was simplified, as they were placed only under the crotchets in bar 59.

On the 2nd crotchet (c2) in FEJ there is an added fingering digit 2. We consider this unnatural fingering in this place as erroneous one: either it was another digit that was supposed to be here (1), or ‒ which is more plausible ‒ the digit 2 was supposed to concern the next crotchet f2. As we are not certain about the issue, we do not include this entry.
