b. 406-409

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slur in EE & FE

Contextual interpretation of the slurs in GC

Slurs in GE
..

The slur, when read literally, in GC (→GE), only begins in b. 407. This must come from an error in bars 64 and 406, so we do not take this notation into account. As for the two variants of slurring in bars 408-409, in the main text we emphasise the prase structure and introduce a break in the slur (new slur for a new eight-bar).

b. 407-415

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In EE there are cautionary neutrals before a-a1 octave in bars 407-415. This may well be an editorial revision, similar to bars 65-73.

Staccato dots in EE and FE

No marks in GC (→GE)
..

GC (→GE) there are no staccato dots in LH. This may have been the copyist's omission (b. 67).

b. 409-432

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Writing out crescendo in syllables in EE is a revising characteristic of the Wessel editions.

No signs in EE

 & accent in GC & FE

  in GE
..

No marks in EE may come from the earlier version or be an omission. A mark in GC, rightly interpreted in b. 73 in GE as a long accent, here (b. 415) was extended to almost whole bar hairpins.
