b. 265

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

in A

 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The  mark seems absolutely clear in A; however, the engraver could have been confused by the delicate trace of the first, failed attempt to write it – it was only the second time that there was enough ink for an entire mark.

b. 266-268

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

..

In A there are no accidentals in the 2nd half of bar 266 and 268. They were added in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

2 cresc. in A

No indications in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The missing cresc. at the end of bar 266 and 268 is almost certainly a revision by the engraver of GE, who made his work easier by omitting indications he considered pleonastic next to the  hairpin.

No markings in EE
..

In the main text we provide pedal markings after A. In the editions they were reproduced erroneously or inaccurately – the  mark in bar 266 was overlooked, while in bar 268 it was placed at the end of the bar (in EE this bar was overlooked too).
