b. 24

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

Slur f-g in A

No slurs in GE (→FE1,EE1,IE)

2 slurs in FE2

Slur B-c in EE2
..

The inconspicuous slur connecting the crotchets f-g in A at the transition between bars 24-25 was overlooked in GE (→FE1,EE,IE). In FE2 it was added together with the slur connecting the quavers B-c earlier in bar 24 – the reviser was probably guided by the analogy with bars 26-27. This second slur was also added in EE2.

The inconspicuous A slur was overlooked in GE (→FE1,EE,IE). It was added – probably following the analogy with bars 26-27 – in FE2.

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

..

In the main text we include the cautionary  to f3 in bar 28 (L.H.), added in GE (→FE,EE,IE). We also add a respective accidental to the R.H. (5th quaver). By contrast, we omit the poorly justified cautionary flats to a2 at the end of bar 28 (L.H.) and on the 3rd quaver in bar 29 (R.H.) present in the sources.

b. 28-29

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

Slurs from f3(2) in A

Slurs from f3 & g2 in GE (→FE,EE)

No slurs in IE
..

In A the L.H. slurs in both bars encompass the last 6 quavers, constituting a descending scale sequence. The extension of the latter is a clear example of adjusting slurs to rhythmic units, in this case bar. The absence of the slurs in IE most probably resulted from an oversight.
