No slur in A (→GE→FE)

Slur in EE

Slur suggested by the editors
..

We suggest adding a slur on the basis of comparison with analogous bars 32 and 81. Such an addition (most probably on the same basis) was introduced already in EE.

No slur in A (→GE1→GE2,FE→EE1)

Slur b2-b2 in GE1a & EE2 (→EE3)
..

In the 2nd half of the bar GE1 initially included an erroneous slur, running from the b2 crotchet to the next bar (most probably instead of the slur written in A, running from b2). Over time, the traces of removal of the erroneous slur became very visible (cf. another copy of GE1), so that it was already in GE1a that the place was reengraved. However, instead of removing the traces of the original slur, it was replaced with a shorter one, reaching to b2 only. The slur was added also in EE2 (→EE3).

2 long accents in A

2 short accents in GE1 (→FE)

3 different accents in EE

3 short accents in GE2
..

In the main text we give two long accents under the chords ending these bars, since all deviations from this notation present in the editions are a result of inaccuracies or arbitrary revisions.

b. 22

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II

..

In A the naturals raising d notes to d are written only on the 4th beat of the bar. In spite of this, there are no doubts that d is required in the entire 2nd half of the bar. In GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2) a  raising d3 to d3 at the beginning of the 3rd beat of the bar was added (referring also to d4), but only EE and GE2 include a corresponding sign before the penultimate semiquaver.
