Issues : Errors in GE

b. 76-89

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

12 accents in EE

13 accents in GC

12 accents in GE

11 accents in FE

Our suggestion (13 accents)

Our alternative suggestion (11 accents)

..

The sources differ here both with respect to the type of accents above the minims of the highest voice (short in EE and GC or long in FE) and to their occurrence in particular bars:

  • EE has 12 accents in bars 76-87,
  • GC has 13 accents in bars 76-81 and 83-89,
  • GE has 12 accents in bars 76-81 and 84-89,
  • FE has 11 accents in bars 76-80, 83-87 and 89.

In the editors' opinion, the accent that FE has in bar 80 may have been placed there by mistake, and was meant to be placed in bar 81. Allowing for that possibility leads us to put forward the following proposal as an alternative to the main text: 11 accents in bars 76-79, 81, 83-87 and 89.

e1 in EE, GC & FE

d1 in GE

The minim in the highest voice is not very legible in  GC (it was probably corrected from d sharp1 to e1), so in GE it was misread as d sharp1 .

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

In EE and GE the tie sustaining c sharp was omitted, which is an obvious oversight.

In #KG, the tie sustaining a flat is only present in bar 155 (in a new line). This was probably the reason why GE1 did not have it at all. The error was corrected in GE2.

The slur is GE (in both hands) are discontinued here. This is clearly an error caused probably by the erroneous reading of the slur and octave sign in GC.
