b. 245

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

d²-b¹ w EE & GC (→GE)

b¹-g¹ in FE ('harmonic' interpretation)

The version of FE, with an added heightening
g¹ to g¹, could be possible from the harmonic point of view. Still, the pianistic complication that finds no justification in sound terms plus the consistent version of all the remaining sources and the analogous bar 253 strongly indicate that we a re dealing here with the "Terzverschreibung" error.

b. 259

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

D₁ in EE & GC (→GE)

E₁-D in FE1

Octave as a supposed FE1 version

D₁-D in FE2

The seventh E₁-D, written in two-part notation, is definitely an error of FE1 probably resulting from carelessly done proofing. We give the octave D₁-D as the intended version of that edition, which results in a version analogous to bar 243. It is not entirely unlikely that the correction was only meant to be done for the D₁ note alone, just like in the remaining sources. In FE2, E₁ was changed to D₁.
