Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

b. 414

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In FE (→EE1), there is no accidental before the 4th semiquaver, which results in d3 both on the 4th and the 6th semiquavers. Due to the C major key (A​​​​​​​ minor) valid from the middle of bar 412, it must be considered a mistake, probably repeated after [A]. The necessary  lowering d3 to d3 was added in GE and EE2 (→EE3).

Hairpin in FE

Hairpin in EE

No mark in GE & EE
..

The ​​​​​​​ hairpin for the L.H. was completely overlooked by the engraver of GE. In turn, the reviser of EE started it already at the beginning of the bar.

from middle of bar 414 in FE (→GE)

No mark in EE1

from beginning of bar 414 in EE2 (→EE3)
..

The lack of hairpin in EE1 is most probably an oversight. In EE2 (→EE3) a sign spanning the entire two bars was added – cf. note to bars 412-413.

cresc. - - in FE

No dashes in GE
..

The dashes marking the range of crescendo were omitted in GE, as in many other places in the Rondo. In EE, the indication – within the marked range – was divided into syllables what is a revision, typical of the English publisher.

Small quavers in FE (→EE1→EE2)

Small semiquavers in GE & EE3
..

Change of the rhythmic values of the grace notes introduced in GE and – most probably on the basis thereof – in EE3 must be arbitrary and unjustified, since nothing indicates that the version of FE (→EE1→EE2) could be erroneous.
