b. 16

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

GC has here a mistaken chord e-f-a-c1-d1 (no ledger line above the two upper notes). The error was corrected in GE.

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Missing in GC are three augmenting dots for all the three minims in that bar. That obvious omission was corrected in GE.

b. 59

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

As the lower note of the R. H. chord GC (→GE1) erroneously has b. Although the very fact of making a mistake is doubtless, it is not clear whether the copyist forgot to put in a  sign raising b to b sharp or whether he made the Terzverschreibung error. The g sharp that occurs in EE and FE is a strong argument for the latter possibility and this is how the error was corrected in GE2

b. 64

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In GC this bar is partially empty, i.e. the 2nd and the 3rd beats are missing. As EE and FE give the full version of the bar that is the same for both those sources, it is obvious that GC should have that version as well. GE1 has two crotchet rests added instead, which was changed in GE2 to the correct text probably taken from FE. A similar situation occurs in bar 406.

Staccato dots in EE and FE

No marks in GC (→GE)

..

GC (→GE) do not have staccato dots in the L.H. in this bar, probably due to the copyist's accidental omission.
