Rhythm

b. 416-417

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No tie in EE

c tied in GC (→GE) & FE

Our variant suggestion 
..

Even though EE is the only one without a tie on c, we believe this version to be authentic and propose to have a variant bracketed tie for the main text.

b. 417-431

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In bars 417, 420-421, 423-429 and 431 augmentation dots for the RH minims were supplemented in GE. The dots were omitted in GC in the right bars of the 75-89 sequence.

b. 422-423

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

f tied in EE & FE

No tie in GC (→GE)

Our variant suggestion
..

Since both source versions - f tied or repeated in b. 423 - are justified to some extent by the sources and the sound of music we present our variant solution.

b. 423-424

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No tie in EE

f tied in GC (→GE) & FE
..

No tie on f in EE must most certainly be an error.

b. 423-432

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In FE the dyads in LH in bars 423-424 and 431-432 are not split into two voices, similarly in bars 81-82 or 89-90.
