b. 137-138

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

..

In GC and FE, which certainly reproduce the notation of [A], the naturals before the and notes are written only in the extreme voices – next to the bottom notes in the L.H. and top in the R.H. An exception are the D1-D octaves (both notes provided with naturals, although in FE1-FE3 only in bar 138) and the devoid of  g3 note in bar 138. In GE and EE the notation is correct (except for the devoid of naturals D1-D quaver in bar 137 in EE1).

b. 137

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

2 different slurs in GC

No 2nd slur in FE1

2 different slurs in FE2 (→EE,FE3FE4)

2 half-bar-long slurs in GE

..

The inconsistent with the bar stucture L.H. slurring in GC as well as the lack of the second L.H. slur in FE1 are almost certainly mistakes by the copyist and the engraver. On the other hand, the slur added in FE2 (→EE,FE3FE4) is probably inaccurate, as evidenced by the slurring of the subsequent bars. In the main text, we give the probable reconstruction of the slurs in [A], aptly guessed in GE.

b. 143-144

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

..

The crotchets in the L.H. in the 2nd half of each of these bars are written in the sources in the treble clef, which raises doubts, as far as the validity of the accidentals from the 1st half is concerned:

  •  before e1 in bar 143 is present in all sources;
  •  before e1 in bar 144 was added in GE, FE4 and EE2;
  •  before e in bar 144 appears only in GE.

In the graphical layout adopted in the main text the signs are not necessary.

b. 145-146

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

..

GC and FE1 (→FE2FE3) lack seven naturals before the notes, which were previously already correctly written in another octave. These patent inaccuracies do not impede the interpretation and they were completed in the subsequent sources to a varied extent. It is only GE that has the correct text. Similarly in the next bars.

b. 147-148

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

..

GC and FE1 (→FE2FE3) lack six naturals before the notes which were previously already correctly written in another octave, which was completed in the subsequent sources to a varied extent. The fully correct text is included only in GE2 and EE2 (see also the note in bar 148). Similarly in the adjacent bars.
