b. 269

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

..

EE1 has an a as the top note of the chord at the beginning of the bar. This is certainly a mistake, as indicated by the text of other sources, the awkward spelling without a cautionary , and a comparison with the analogous bar 68.

 in A (→GE→IE)

No sign in FE & EE
..

The missing  mark in FE and EE is probably an oversight by the engravers; in the case of EE it is already a second oversight of this kind (see bars 266-268). Judging from the version of the aforementioned bars, the A mark could have been written inaccurately (too early); however, in the main text we keep the source notation.

Accent in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

Accent suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest adding an accent after the previous two passages (bar 267 and 269). The mark was also added in GE (→FE,EE,IE).
