No tie in EE

Tied g in GC (→GE) & FE

In EE g is not tied, which most probably results from omission. In GC there is no appropriatew tie in b. 572 (at the end of ther system), which was corrected in GE.

b. 644

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In FE all chords are written as crotchets, and so the bar consists mistakenly of 7 quavers. When we compare it with EE and GC (→GE), we can actually pinpoint the miastake in the last chord of the bar.

b. 647

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Dotted minim in EE

Minim and rest in GC (→GE) & FE
..

We may suspect that the rhythm of EE is an earlier version of this chord's notation.

b. 649

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Separated pauses in EE & GE

Common pause in GC & FE
..

The authentic notation may not have included a separate fermata below LH, as it does not appear neither in GC nor in FE. The lower fermata in GE must be a revision, so it must have also been added in EE. Both notations are equivalent but to be precie and formal we supplement the fermata in the main text.
