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

Slur in A

No slur in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The missing top slur in GE (→FE,EE,IE) is probably an oversight, as the mark is poorly visible in A.

Staccato dot in A

No mark in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

The staccato dot, entered into A over the chord at the beginning of the bar, was overlooked in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 171-172

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

Slur to e1 in A

Slur to d1 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The A slur clearly reaches the e1 crotchet at the beginning of bar 172. In GE (→EE) the notation is inaccurate – the slur in bar 171, at the end of a line, suggests that it should be continued, yet in a new line, in bar 172, there is no ending thereof. We reproduce it – in accordance with FE and IE – as a slur reaching just d1.
