Issues : Errors in FE

b. 76-89

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

12 accents in EE

13 accents in GC

12 accents in GE

11 accents in FE

Our suggestion (13 accents)

Our alternative suggestion (11 accents)

..

The sources differ here both with respect to the type of accents above the minims of the highest voice (short in EE and GC or long in FE) and to their occurrence in particular bars:

  • EE has 12 accents in bars 76-87,
  • GC has 13 accents in bars 76-81 and 83-89,
  • GE has 12 accents in bars 76-81 and 84-89,
  • FE has 11 accents in bars 76-80, 83-87 and 89.

In the editors' opinion, the accent that FE has in bar 80 may have been placed there by mistake, and was meant to be placed in bar 81. Allowing for that possibility leads us to put forward the following proposal as an alternative to the main text: 11 accents in bars 76-79, 81, 83-87 and 89.

b. 87

a1 in EE and GC (→GE)

a1 in FE

Missing in FE is the sharp raising a1 to a sharp1. This is probably an accidental omission. The same applies to bar 429.

In FE and EE  is placed before d sharp1. This obvious error may have been caused by the imprecise notation of the autograph.

Rhythm in EE, GC (→GE1), and a contextual interpretation of FE

..

In FE this bar has 7 quavers as, despite the presence of a quaver rest, all the three octaves are written in crotchets. We think that this error should be corrected by adding quaver flags to the octaves at the beginning of the bar; this leads to the version compliant with EE and GC (→GE1). It is also the version that FE has in analogous bars 31 and 373.
The rhythm of GE2 here is absolutely arbitrary.
