Slur in GC

Slurs in FE (→EE)

Three-bar slur in GE1, contextual interpretation

Four-bar slur in GE2
..

In the main text we give the undoubtedly authentic slurs of FE (→EE). The slur in GC, starting from the middle of bar 60, is surely inaccurate and was misrepresented in GE1. The slur in GE2 is an attempt to interpret the musically unjustified slur in GC.

b. 65

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

Slur in GC i FE (→EE)

No slur in GE
..

In GC (→GE) the 5th L.H. quaver  is written on the upper staff. This presumably resulted in GE's omission of the L.H. slur.

Four-note chord in GE, FE (→EE) & GE2

Octave in GE1
..

The absence of middle notes of the chord is certainly an error of the engraver of GE1.

Ties in GC & FE (→EE)

Tie & slur (?) in GE
..

Incorrectly placed ties in GE – no tie to a2 and a 'tie' between f2-b1 – may be attributed to the engraver's distraction.

g1-d2-g2 in GC, FE (→EE) & GE2

g1-e2-g2 in GE1
..

The e2 note (instead of d2) in the last chord of the R.H. is certainly a mistake of GE1, caused by an inaccurate placement of this note in GC.
