b. 278-280

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

In the main text we add a cautionary natural before a in b. 278 and 280 and a  before g in b. 279. Naturals were also added in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 294-295

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No slur in A (→FC) & GE2 (→GE3)

Slur in FE (→EE) & GE1
..

The slur combining e with d in FE (→EE) is a result of a mistake of the engraver of FE, who misinterpreted the tie of g. The same slur in GE1 is probably a result of a standard completion of the allegedly missing slurs. The erroneous slur was omitted in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 306

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In A the  before the middle note of the L.H. chord is placed clearly too low, which in this case could have been due to the intention of avoiding collision with the bar line. Fontana correctly interpreted the meaning of that mark in FC (→GE); however, in FE the sharp was initially ascribed to the bottom note of the chord, g. That erroneous version got to EE1 and was then corrected through the addition of a proper  both in the last phase of proofreading of FE and in EE2 (→EE3).
