b. 19-20

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

We add a cautionary  before f3 in the main text. Similarly, we add it before f2 in the next bar.

b. 21

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Hairpin up to 3rd quaver in FE (→GE)

No hairpin in EE1 (→EE2)

Hairpin above R.H. in EE3

Hairpin to 4th quaver suggested by the editors
..

The hairpin placed in FE (→GE) is imprecise: it ends at the level of the 3rd quaver in the bar. We suggest prolonging the mark to the end of the phrase. The engraver of EE1 (→EE2) completely overlooked the hairpin. It was only just the reviser of EE3 that added it (over the R.H.).

..

In the sources, the  before A is unnecessarily repeated in the 2nd half of the bar.

b. 24-25

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No marks in FE (→GE)

Dashes in EE
..

EE added dashes between all elements of poco a poco cresc, which cannot be considered unjustified if we take into account considerable gaps between subsequent words. There is a similar situation in bars 28-29.

b. 25-26

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Dashes in bar 25 in FE (→EE)

No dashes in GE

Dashes up to bar 27 suggested by the editors
..

In FE (→EE), the dashes marking the range of crescendo are present only in bar 25. It must be an inaccuracy, most probably caused by the transition into a new line – marking the range of cresc. on such a short section would not make sense. That conclusion is confirmed by analogous bars 29-30, in which the dashes are led until . In GE, the markings were completely omitted in both analogous places.
