A slur in A & EE3

A shorter slur in GE

No slur in FE (→EE1)
..

In the edited text we give the most natural reading of the slur of A. The slur in GE may be considered as its less natural interpretation. The concordance of the slur added in EE3 with the slur in A is accidental, as the corrections of that edition [EE] had GE as the starting point.

In FE the last two triplets of the R.H. semiquavers were mistakenly placed over the three last notes of the left hand part. FES has signs written into the score that indicate the correct synchronisation of both hands.

GE (→FE→EE)
..

The beginning of the mark from the 5th quaver of the bar is doubtless in A. In GE (→FE→EE) the hairpins begin  one quaver earlier.

A staccato dot in A

No dot in GE (→FE→EE)

The dot given as a variant (the editors' suggestion).
..

The dot visible in A may be regarded as staccato sign, yet it is not quite certain, therefore we give it in brackets as a variant to be performed or omitted.
