Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Text Compare Notes Sources Description

b. 274

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

A cautionary  before b was added in GE2. The corresponding sign visible in EE is also probably the reviser's addition, yet definitely justified after b in the preceding bar.

b. 284-285

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Missing from EE and FE is the bass clef restoring the bass register within the system after the treble clef on the lower stave (the last bar to which the treble clef applies is bar 283). However, the structure of the figuration in bar 286 and its graphic layout make the misreading of the text in this and the following bars practically impossible. In GC, bar 284 opens a new page and the bass clef is written there at the beginning of the line. In GE, the bass clef was added at the end of the line, in bar 284.

d tied in GE

No tie in EE, GC & FE
..

The tie sustaining d in GE is probably an arbitrary addition, made by analogy with bars 156-157.

a1 in EE, FE & GE

g1 in GC
..

GC has g1as the 1st quaver in the L.H. This is probably an error, corrected already in GE.

Beginning of the slur in EE & FE

Slurs in GE
..

The slur in GC is clearly too long, especially at its end, which was corrected in GE. For the main text we have adopted complying versions of EE and FE.
