  in A

No signs in FE (→GE,EE)

..

The missing pair of dynamic hairpins is probably a result of distraction of the engraver of FE (→GE,EE).

Fingering in A (→FEGE)

Staccato dot in A (→FEEE)

No mark in GE

..

The notation of A (and EE) may raise some doubts, as the quaver is at the same time extended with a rhythmic dot and shortened with a staccato dot. According to us, the dot, which in A seems to be a staccato mark, actually is not an element of the notation at all, yet one of small ink spills, which are numerous in A. Due to this fact, we do not include it in the main text. An additional argument against performing the bass note staccato is lack of pedalling in this bar – in adjacent bars the staccato marked bass notes resound with pedal. Omission of the staccato dot in GE may be linked to the lack of the dot extending in FE – the reviser of GE could have assumed that the dot was misplaced.

..

In FE the dot extending was omitted, as a result of which the bar in the L.H. has only 11 semiquavers. It is either a simple oversight (cf. bar 26) or a result of a misunderstanding at the time of proofreading (the wrong dot was removed? – see the adjacent remark). The mistake was corrected both in GE and in EE.

End of slur in A

FE (→EE), literal reading

Probable interpretation of FE (→GE)

..

In A the slur reaches only until in the 2nd half of the bar. In turn, in FE (→EE) it goes beyond the last note, as if it were to be continued in the next bar. According to us, both versions of the notation are inaccurate.
