b. 1

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

EE

FC3 (→FE→IE)

A, GE
..

In A and GE  there are no dynamic markings at the beginning of the piece. In FC3 (→FE →IE)  mark was introduced at the beginning of b.1; there's no reason to question its authenticity. Based on EE in the main text we present the marking in upbeat variant.

issues: No initial dynamic marking

b. 4

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

A, FC3 (→FE→IE), EE, GE1
..

In A, FC3 (→FE→IE), EE and GE1 there is no extending dot on minim c1 on the first beat of RH but the dot apears upon the theme’s repetition in corresponding b. 180, which allows us to assume with great probability that b.4 is inaccurate. The relevant revision was already made in GE2 (→GE3→GE4).

b. 5-6

A, FC3 (→FE→IE), EE, GE4

GE1 (→GE2→GE3)
..

No slur in GE1 (→GE2→GE3) over the transition of bars 6-7 can most probably be recognised as the error of the copyist or engraver.

b. 6

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

A, FC3 (→FE→IE), EE, GE1 (→GE2)

GE3 (→GE4)
..

In GE3 ( →GE4) c1 was arbitrarily augmented to the length of a dotted crotchet. 

 

In # GE1 (→GE2→GE3) from unknown source there apears an unjustified cautionary  mark before g1.

 

Similar text variants appear in b. 14.
