The missing ​​​​​​​ marks are a patent inaccuracy, hence in the main text we suggest adding them after the two previous bars. The marks were added already in EE (in EE1 only in bar 147) and GE3.

No slurs in FE (→GE1→GE2)

6 slurs in EE & GE3

Slur over bars 160-162 written into FEH
..

The missing slurs over three subsequent figures in bars 161-162 (in both hands) must be a result of graphic difficulties at the time of writing slurs between the parts of both hands, written on one stave. In EE and GE3, in which each hand was placed on a separate stave, the slurs were added. According to us, the three-bar slur entered in FEH emphasises the difference in articulation and in general character between bars 156-159 and 160-162 and the following ones. In the main text, we do not include that slur, having the nature of a teaching comment.

Crotchet f1 in FE (→EE)

No crotchet f1 in GE

Quaver f1 suggested by the editors
..

The rhythmic notation of the 2nd and 3rd quavers of the bar is inaccurate in the sources. In FE (→EE), the f1 semiquaver is provided with an additional crotchet stem and also with a tie sustaining it to the next f1 on the 3rd quaver. As a result, the value of the crotchet was written in two ways, which seems to be a superfluous complication, particularly since prolongation of the respective note in the L.H. was marked only with a tie (imprecisely yet indisputably). In the main text, we suggest adding a quaver flag, which results in a precise notation taking into account all elements of the authentic notation. GE omitted the additional stem, which simplified but also impoverished the notation. Moreover, GE1 (→GE2) overlooked the tie of b (added in GE3).

No L.H. slurs in FE

Slurs in GE & EE
..

The missing slurs of FE must be an inaccuracy of notation – except minor inaccuracies, in the entire theme, both here and in bars 415-449, identical slurs are written in the parts of both hands. Slurs were added both in GE and EE.
