b. 97

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

There are slight differences between particular sources as regards the scope of the hairpin mark , yet they are probably unintended. We give the version of GC and FE. In GE the mark extends further, reaching the chord in bar 98, and in EE it begins later, under the 2nd crotchet of bar 97.

issues: Inaccuracies in GE , EE inaccuracies

The staccato dot is to be found only in FE.

b. 99-102

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

4 short accents in EE

4 long accents in GC (→GE)

2 accents in FE
..

Missing accents in bars 101-102 in FE were probably omitted by oversight. EE has short accents here, just like almost everywhere else in that edition. GC (→GE) definitely have long accents.

Staccato dot in EE & FE

No sign in GC (→GE)
..

The absence of the staccato sign in GC (→GE) is probably due to oversight.
