b. 97-98

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

b. 98-99

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

..

In the main text we add cautionary naturals to c1 in bar 98 and the first c in bar 99.

b. 98

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

  in A

Longer   in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

In the main text we keep the range of the   hairpins visible in A. In GE (→FE,EE,IE) the range of both marks was adjusted to the quaver beams, which, in this case, does not significantly influence the meaning of these marks.

b. 99

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

g tied in A (→GE→FE,IE) & EE2

g repeated in EE1
..

The missing tie to g must be a mistake by the engraver of EE1, corrected in EE2.

b. 99-100

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

Slur to b. 100 in A

Slur to end of b. 99 in GE

Slur to f in FE, EE & IE
..

In GE the ending of the slur in bar 99 (at the end of a line) can be considered a tenuto slur. However, it is most probably an inaccuracy – the slur was either supposed to reach bar 100, as it is in A, or the f crotchet, as it was unanimously interpreted in the remaining editions.
