b. 36

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

We add a few cautionary accidentals in the main text – a  before e1 at the beginning of the bar and naturals before f1(2) and g1(2) on the 3rd beat of the bar. In turn, we omit the flats before c2(3) in the L.H. present in the sources – see the note in the 2nd half of the bar.

b. 37-39

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

meno mosso in bar 39 in FE (→EE)

meno mosso in bar 37 in GE
..

It is unclear how the difference between FE (→EE) and GE occurred. According to us, it is a mistake of the engraver of GE that is most likely; he could have placed the meno mosso indication a line lower – the beginning of bar 37 in FE (→GE) is exactly over the beginning of bar 39.

b. 37

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No indication in FE (→GE)

in EE
..

The  marking is an arbitrary revision of EE that could have resulted from a comparison with bars 31, 33 and 35.

In GE, the meno mosso indication is present at the beginning of bar 37 and not bar 39 like it is in FE (→EE). See the note in bar 39.
