Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : Errors in EE

b. 279

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No sign in EE & GC (→GE)

 in FE
..

The  mark, appearing only in FE, seems very much in place from the musical point of view. This is also the only version that is definitely authentic, as the absence of that mark in GC (→GE) may be accidental, and in EE it is almost certainly so (cf. bar 275).

No sign in EE

 in GC (→GE) & FE
..

In EE,  the  mark was either omitted (see the note to bar 275), or misread as a L.H. slur.

b. 281

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

EE does not have the treble clef in this bar, which is an obvious error. The correct clef in placed in bar 283 that opens a new line of text.

No marking in EE

 in GC (→GE) & FE

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