b. 644

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In EE and FE we leave out redundant sharps before e and e1 in the last chord of the bar. The sharps are present in GC (→GE1) but the lower  is erroneously notated on g. In GE2 the accidntal was removed.

 in EE & GC (→GE)

Long accent in FE
..

In GC (→GE) and EE, the  marks, despite some differences, undoubtedly apply to both C major chords in these bars. We believe they represent a long accent spanning the two chords. The mark in FE is a typical long accent characteristic of this edition.
