Pitch

b. 445

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In EE and GC (→GE) there is  before d2, which seems redundant. In FE the accidental was rather erroneously placed  before f2.

b. 446

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Before the upper note of the second octave in GC there is no natural lowering G to G. This obvious omission was supplemented in GE.

b. 447

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Three-note chord in EE

Five-note chord in GC (→GE) & FE

Notation without cautionary 
..

EE is most probably original. We cannot completely rule out chance omission of the chord elements written out on the bottom stave (a-h second is notated in the same way in the remaining sources).

In the main text we omit the redundant cautionary  before d3 as it had no practical application.

b. 453

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In FE the bottom notes in both RH and LH are wrong: instead of E1 there is F1, while instead of g there is f.

b. 454

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In FE1 the first note - a2 is an obvious error, corrected in FE2.
