b. 73

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

..

In FE (→GE) the bass clef is placed the same as in the main text – in the middle of the bar – yet, at the same time, the 2 bottom-most R.H. semiquavers, f and b, were written on the bottom stave, which would make them d2 and g2. The mistake was noticed and corrected only in EE.

b. 79

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

..

In FE the last R.H. note is devoid of an accidental. The harmonic context – a cadence in D minor and an e tone present in the preceding bar as well as an analogy with bar 69 prove that we are dealing here with an overlooked . The natural was added both in GE and EE.
