b. 307

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

g1 in A (→FC→GE) & FESf

b1 in FE (→EE1), contextual interpretation, and EE2 (→EE3)
..

The 2nd small quaver in FE (→EE1) is an erroneous b1, which we interpret as b1, since overlooked accidentals are much more common than Terzverschreibung mistakes. This is how this place was revised in EE2 (→EE3), by adding a  before that note. The correction in ink performed in FESf restores the correct pitch of that note, i.e. g1.

The version of EE3 is an arbitrary revision aiming at adapting this bar to b. 435, changed (also arbitrarily) already in EE2.
