b. 345-347

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

Slurs to e & e1 in A

Slurs to d & d1 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

Both A slurs clearly reach the beginning of the next bar. Therefore, the shorter ones in GE (→FE,EE,IE) must be considered a revision.

..

In A the  to the 2nd and 6th L.H. quavers are missing. The accidentals were added in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 345-346

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

Slurs in A

No slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The missing slurs in GE (→FE,EE,IE) are most probably due to an oversight by the engraver of GE.

b. 345-350

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

No marks in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

In the main text we reproduce the dots visible over the e2 crotchet in bar 345 and f2 in bar 350 as staccato marks. However, this interpretation is uncertain, particularly in bar 350, in which the mark is not in line with the note; actually, it is quite far from it, hence it is likely that it is just one of the accidental ink flecks, which are numerous in A. None of these dots were included in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 347-348

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

..

In A there are no accidentals defining f, b1, e in bar 347 and a1 in bar 348. In GE (→EE,IE) only the marks in bar 347 were added, while the correct text is present only in FE.
In IE the  to the 1st crotchet in bar 347 (e1) was overlooked.
