The sources do not include a  to g2, which is a typical inaccuracy related to the use of an octave sign.

b. 137

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

..

In FE (→GE1) the  raising g1 to g1 is missing. The mistake is proven by both the further course of the figuration, using e2 and g2 (at the beginning of the trill in bar 138), and the comparison with analogous bar 119. The mistake was corrected in GE2 and EE.

b. 141

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

..

At the beginning of the 6th quaver in the bar, in FE one can see an f-e1 seventh. The comparison with an analogous figure at the end of bar 142, featuring a G-e sixth, points to a highly likely mistake. This is how it was assessed in GE and EE, replacing the seventh by a g-e1 sixth, which we include in the main text.

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major
