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

e1 in GC (→GE) & FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)

d1 in FE1
..

The d1 note in the chord at the beginning of the bar is certainly a mistake of the engraver of FE1, corrected in the subsequent FE.

d-a-d1 in GC (→GE) & FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4)

No d in the 1st crotchet in the L.H. is undoubtedly an oversight of the engraver of FE1.

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.

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.

b. 106-107

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

..

In b. 106 and 107, some or all bottom voice rests were overlooked in various sources:

  • both rests in b. 106 in FE;
  • the crotchet rest in b. 107 in GE;
  • all four rests in EE.

They seem to be the engravers' oversights (in EE and GE, it is also revisions that are likely – cf. b. 115). GC is provided with a detailed two-part notation, which we give in the main text.
