GC

Slurs in GE
..

The slur in GC is clearly too long, especially at its end, which was corrected in GE. For the main text we have adopted complying versions of EE and FE.

Slur in EE

The slurs in EE and GC (→GE) end in b. 314, and the slur in GE is placed below the chords (at the note heads). In the main text we present the slur found in FE as undoubtedly the correct one. Compare annotation in bars 296-306.

b. 315

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

In EE there is no  marking, which obviously is an error, as in b. 319 there is an appropriate  marking.
