Long accent in A (→GE→FE)

The missing accent in EE is probably the engraver's oversight, while the mark having been extended in IE – an arbitrary, routine revision.

b. 11-12

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

Wedge in b. 12 in A

2 wedges in GE (→FE,IE)

Wedge in b. 11 in EE
..

In the main text we keep the A version, in which the wedge over the 1st L.H. quaver is written only in bar 12. However, taking into account the similarities between both bars, one can consider the addition introduced by GE (→FE,EE,IE) to be justified, while the version with two wedges an acceptable variant.
The absence of the mark in EE in bar 12 must be a mistake.

b. 13

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

Slur to penultimate quaver in A, literal reading

Slur to last quaver in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The ending of the A slur is almost certainly inaccurate, as is the slur in bar 15, which is proven by the comparison with identical bar 14. The slur was extended already in GE (→FE,EE,IE).
