b. 65

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt II

Accent in A

No mark in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The missing accent in GE (→FE,EE,IE) could be explained by an oversight by the GE engraver. However, he could have omitted the mark on purpose when it turned out that due to the small gap between the great staves, the mark placed over the R.H. in this bar could have been erroneously assigned to the L.H. crotchet in bar 59, placed above this bar.

Staccato dot in A (→GE)

No mark in FE, EE & IE
..

In GE the staccato dot was placed at the end of the stem, as a result of which it was not reproduced by any of the remaining editions.

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt II

Short accent in A

Long accent in GE (→FE,IE)

No mark in EE
..

Although the A mark suggests the use of a short accent, in the main text we suggest a long accent due to the context of a long note, typical for long accents, additionally provided with a ten. indication (the issue of inaccurately written long accents in A – see mov. IV, bars 108-109). The editions also contain a long accent, extended, probably due to the fact that it was considered a diminuendo mark.
The absence of the mark in EE is most probably due to an oversight.
