b. 259-265

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Pedalling in EE

No markings in GC (→GE)

Pedalling in FE

Our variant suggestion

..

The absence of pedal marks in GC (→GE) is most probably the copyist's error (see also note to bar 266). The pedalling of EE is probably authentic (cf. a similar solution in bars 268-271, confirmed both by EE and by GC). In FE, the placement of the  in bar 259 seems doubtful and we consider it to be an inaccuracy almost certainly resulting from faulty understanding of the hand-written base text , as well as the lack of space around the note D1 (cf. bar 267). In our main text we suggest two, most probably authentic, versions of pedalling (EE and FE modified in bar 259 ) as variants.

b. 266

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Pedalling in EE and FE

No markings in GC (→GE)

..

GC (→GE) has no pedal marks in this bar. This is almost certainly the mistake of the copyist (see also notes to bars 260-265 and 265-266).

c2 in EE, FE & GE2

e2 in GC (→GE1)

..

The GC (→GE1) version, although harmonically and pianistically quite possible, is probably erroneous.

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE and FE

GC (→GE)

..

In GC, the slur ends in bar 283 at the end of the page. The fact that it is not continued on the next page is probably an oversight. We adopt the consistent version of EE and FE.

b. 288-291

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE and FE

No slur GC (→GE)

..

Absence of the slur in GC (→GE) is probably the result of the copyist's accidental omission.
