b. 65-73

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In bars 65 and 73 EE has cautionary naturals before the octave a-a1. This is most probably the editor's revision. Similarly in bars 407 and 415.

A cautionary  before a2 was added in GE. The corresponding sign visible in EE is also probably the reviser's addition, yet surely justified in the context.

..

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.

In FE  augmenting e to e is indispensable. In other sources it is only a cautionary marking after e1 in the previous bar (it is not there in EE). Similarly in FE  augmenting c1 to c1. As a cautionary accidental it is only used in EE.
