No accidentals in EE, GC & FE

We add cautionary naturals before the a2-a3 octave. The accidentals were already added in GE.

Slur in EE

Slur & wedge in GC

The slur endings of both EE and GC are musically justified. The slur of FE seems less convincing, it may have not been read correctly. The slur in GE, even though based on GC, is imprecise. In the main text we present the most precise markings of GC - the wedge emphasised slur ending.

b. 567

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

A comma-like mark in GC, which here should be read as a wedge, was not - maybe by chance - included in GE. Neither EE nor FE have any mark in this place.

The  mark was inaccurately placed in GE - a crotchet too early.
