b. 23

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

..

All sources except for EE1 added a reminder  next to the last e1 in L.H. We omit this accidental in the main text.

b. 24

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

..

On the 2nd quaver of the bar FE1 has an erroneous g1-b1 instead of e1-g1, whereas on the 6th quaver g1-a1 instead of e1-f1. The double Terzverschreibung error was corrected in the subsequent FE. The correct text is also included in the remaining sources.

b. 25-27

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

5 accents in GC

2 accents in FE (→EE1)

3 accents in GE

4 accents in EE2
..

Only in GC the accents are written in these bars without mistakes. FE (→EE1) overlooked 3 accents in bars 26-27, whereas GE omitted accents in the 2nd half of bars 25 and 26. The notation of EE2 is a result of overlapping of the signs adopted from FE and GE.

b. 26

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

F in GC (→GE) & FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)

B in FE1
..

B on the 4th quaver is almost certainly a mistake of FE1.

b. 26-27

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Slurs in GC (contextual interpretation →GE)

No slurs in FE1

Slurs in FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)
..

The oversight of the engraver of FE1 – he overlooked three slurs at the beginning of a new line, similarly as accents – was completed in the later FE, yet inaccurately (a too short 2nd slur in bar 26). In this case, the very careless slurs of GC did not mislead the engraver of GE.
