b. 150

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Missing in FE1 are the ending of the tie sustaining E flat and   lowering E1 to E flat1. Those obvious mistakes were corrected in FE2.

At the end of the bar GC (→GE) has the fifth E flat-B flat. The consistent version of EE and FE, both having the octave E flat-e flat here, indicates the copyist's error. The fact that Gutmann's attention was distracted is confirmed by his two other obvious mistakes in bars 166-167: inaccurate slur and omission of the octave sign.
