Issues : Errors in FE

b. 1-2

composition: Op. 28 No. 8, Prelude in F♯ minor

..

FE erroneously gives d instead of c as the last L.H. quaver in each of these bars. The errors, caused probably by this note in bar 1 being written somewhat imprecisely in A (bar 2 is marked as a repetition of bar 1 in the manuscripts), were corrected in FE2 (→EE).

b. 8

composition: Op. 28 No. 8, Prelude in F♯ minor

..

In contrast with A, in FE (→EE) the last L.H. figure was written in the treble clef, thanks to which it was not necessary to repeat the flats next to the 2nd and 3rd semiquavers. However, FE1 misinterpreted the  before f1 as a , which changed that note into f1. The erroneous accidental was removed in FE2 (→EE). We reproduce both that mistake and the changed layout only in the graphical transcription ("transcription").

b. 22

composition: Op. 28 No. 8, Prelude in F♯ minor

..

FE and GE did not use the abridged notation of the 2nd and 4th beats of the bar applied in A (→FC); however, none of the accidentals was repeated on those beats in FE1, which resulted in a mistake in the 4th R.H. group – first, c3 was not raised to c3, and then c3 was not restored. It was corrected in FE2 (→EE) by adding respective accidentals (the traces in some copies might be regarded as indicating that initially a  was also added before e3). In turn, GE repeated all accidentals in both hands, which is not a mistake, but it unnecessarily makes the notation denser.

Continuous slur in A (→FCGE)

Separate slurs in FE (→EE)

..

The division of the slur between the bars must be a mistake of the engraver, probably misled by the shortness of the bars in A, written in an abridged manner.
