b. 111

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

..

In A there is no accidental to the top note of the sixth. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE (→FE,EE,IE).
In the main text we add accidentals to the c3-e3 third, omitted in the sources, as they appear in the 1st half of the bar (at the same pitch).

Wedge over b1-g2 in A, likely interpretation 

No mark in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The notation of the 1st crotchet in A is ambiguous – it is uncertain whether the top note (g2) is supposed to be provided with a separate stem pointing upwards, as it was interpreted in GE (→FE,EE,IE), or whether this "stem" is actually a wedge over the sixth in one-part writing. To the main text we adopt the latter, yet the version of the editions can be considered an equal variant.

b. 115

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

..

In the main text we include the cautionary  to c2 added in GE (→FE,EE,IE). By contrast, we omit the  to f1, the 7th quaver in the bottom voice, unnecessarily repeated in A (→GE→IE).
