Issues : Inaccuracies in FE

Slurs in FE (→GE1GE2), literal reading

Slurs in FE (→GE1GE2), contextual interpretation & in EE

Slur in GE3 (possible interpretation of FE)

..

The slurs of FE (→GE1GE2) at the transition between bars 321 and 322 are inaccurate and unclear. The slur over the 3rd beat of bar 321 runs from the bcrotchet to the last semiquaver of that bar, whereas the beginning of the slur in bar 322, opening a new line of text, suggests continuation from the previous bar. According to us, both slurs are inaccurate; in the main text, we clarify them, taking advantage of the similarity between bars 321 and 319-320 – we assign the slur in bar 321 to the bottom voice and start the slur in bar 322 from the beginning of that bar. This solution was adopted already in EE. In turn, GE3 considered only the slur in bar 321 to be inaccurate; it was changed in such a way, so that the beginning of the slur in bar 322 was meaningful. This version, offering quite an advantageous phrasing (cf. the slur in the L.H. in bars 321-322), may be considered an alternative interpretation of FE.

crescendo under L.H. in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

crescendo between staves in GE3

..

In this context, the crescendo marking certainly refers to the parts of both hands, hence placing it under the bottom stave most probably resulted from lack of space between the staves in FE or perhaps also in [A] (cf. the indications in bars 324-326). Due to this reason, in the main text we move this indication to between the staves; the change was introduced already in GE3. In GE and EE, the indication was given the form of a standard abbreviation.

FE are devoid of staccato dots under the quavers, which must be regarded as a mistake in this context. The marks were added in GE and EE.
