b. 64

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

Slur from 1st note in GC (→ GE)

Slur in FE (→ EE)

..

The GC (→GE) version seems to contain a double inaccuracy – the lack of a staccato dot (see precedent note) and a negligently written slur.

No sign in GC (→GE)

Arpeggio in FE (→EE)

..

As in bar 49, the absence of the arpeggio sign in GC (→GE) is presumably an oversight by the copyist.

Slurs in GC, contextual interpretation

Slur in FE (→EE)

Slurs in GE

..

The slur starting in bar 67 is written in GC in an inaccurate manner, so one can assume that it embraces the first chord of the bar too. The clear ending of the previous slur over this chord indicates, however, that the new slur is probably supposed to start from the 2nd chord, as it was clearly marked in analogous bar 195 in all sources. In GE the previous slur was ended in bar 66, whereas the new was started from a2 at the beginning of bar 67, which is certainly an arbitrary interpretation of the notation of GC. The continuous slur in FE (→EE) may be authentic, however, one cannot exclude that it is also an attempt to interpret unclear slurs of the base text, in this case [A].

b. 78-79

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

Continuous slur in GC & FE (→EE)

Separate slurs in GE

..

The divided slurs in GE are probably an incorrect interpretation of the slurs of GC between the lines – although the beginning of the slur in b. 79 is harder to see in the copy, there is no doubt that the slur was meant to be continued.

d2 repeated in GC (→GE)

d2 tied in FE (→EE)

..

We give priority to the version with the tie, as in the entire section embracing bars 65-80, the middle notes of the octave chords are struck only at the beginning or in the middle of the bar. Authenticity of any of the versions is not entirely certain – both an oversight of the tie by the copyist and a mistake of the engraver of FE1, who, e.g., overlooked the tie between the previous crotchets, are also possible.
