b. 72-73

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No signs in EE

 & accent in GC (→GE)

 in FE
..

In our main text we give the dynamic markings         ( and a long accent) as we see them in GC (→GE). EE has none of those marks, and FE only has   in bar 72. Those are either earlier versions, or results of oversight.

b. 72-74

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE and FE

GC (→GE)
..

The slur in GC (→GE) seems inaccurate. This is confirmed by the concordant version of EE and FE.

b. 74-75

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

EE and GC (→GE) have an accent over the tied c sharp2 in bar 74 (in GE the accent is placed under the octave c sharp1-c sharp2). In FE c sharp2 is not tied, and the accent can both be found in bar 74 and at the beginning of bar 75.

b. 74

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Beginning of the slur in EE & GC (→GE)

FE
..

The slur in FE is doubtless the result of wrong understanding of the hand-written base text, which was perhaps inaccurate.

b. 74-75

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

c repeated in EE and FE

c tied in GC (→GE)

Our variant suggestion 
..

The tie sustaining c sharp is only present in GC (→GE). In the editors' opinion, both versions can be treated as equal.
