b. 169

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

Slur up to f in GC

Slur up to B in FE (→EE)

Slur below notes in GE
..

In the main text we reproduce the little slur running from the grace note in the version of GC, in this case probably closest to [A]. The little slur can be, according to us, interpreted as a conventional sign, by playing the grace note and the fifth, or as a B1-B-f arpeggio. The notation of FE (→EE) is most probably inaccurate (cf. the adjacent note), whereas of GE – routinely revised; at the same time, both eliminate the possibility of a double interpretation.

b. 181

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

No sign in GC (→GE)

Arpeggio sign in FE (→EE)
..

No arpeggio in GC (→GE) is most probably an oversight of the copyist.

b. 208

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

Slur before chord in GC (literal reading→GE)

Arpeggio sign in GC (contextual interpretation)

No sign in FE (→EE)
..

The curved line before the grace note and the chord, written in GC (→GE), means an arpeggio in this context. No sign in FE (→EE) is most probably an oversight of the engraver.

b. 208

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

Small crotchet in FE1

Small quaver in GC (→GE) & FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)
..

The FE1 version is erroneous. This can be inferred from the concordance of GC and FE2, corrected after [A].
