In GE1, undoubtedly as a result of an error, the fourth quaver in LH is f instead of d.

No slurs in GE1 (>GE2>GE3) between the first and second beat of b. 17 as well as over the bar line in bars 17-18 and between the first and second beat of b. 18 may well be recognised as an error made by the copyist or engraver.

b. 19-20

In A and FC3 the transition of bars 19-20 corresponds with the the transition of systems. In A the slur beginning on the last quaver in b. 7 extends beyond the end of the system, putting in question its actual ending, similarly in FC3.

 

With most probability this is why it is difficult to determine the actual ending of the slur in all first editions. In FE and IE the end of b. 19 also correspnds with the end of the system and here the slur ends on the last note of b. 19. In EE and GE bars 19-20 are in the middle of the system and here the slur was extended until the first note of b. 20. In the main text we present the second variant.

b. 20

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

A, FC3 (→FE→IE)

GE
..

In GE the slur begins as late as on the second beat of the bar. This is an inaccuracy, which results most probably from unclear notation of slurs in the Fontana copy serving as the basis for this edition (in FC3 b. 20 is the first bar of the system, it is posssible [KF1] had a similar structure). In the main text we adopt notation of A as it raises no doubts.
