b. 91

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

No f2 in chord in FE1

f2 in GC (→GE) & FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)
..

The absence of f2 in the 1st chord is certainly one of numerous mistakes of FE1.

b. 92

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

f2-d3 in GC (→GE) & FE3 (→FE4)

f2-f3 in FE1 (→FE2→EE)
..

The version of FE1 (→FE2→EE) is certainly erroneous – it is proved both by the text of GC (→GE) and the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4). At the same time, it is only FE4 that includes a completely correct text, as FE3 overlooked the  before the corrected note.

..

In all sources, there is a cautionary  before f2. In the main text we omit this sign, which is unnecessary in this context.

b. 93

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

..

At the beginning of the bar GC has a C1-E tenth. It is certainly a mistake, which is proved by, among others, the  before the bottom note, which does not make any sense before C1. All the remaining sources include an E1-E octave.
