composition: Op. 28 No. 12, Prelude in G♯ minor

Slur in A (→FC→GE) & EE

No slur in FE
..

The missing phrase mark in FE must have resulted from the engraver's distraction. It was added in EE, probably by analogy with the next phrase.

f tied in A (→FC→GE)

f repeated in FE (→EE)
..

The missing tie of f is probably an oversight of the engraver of FE (→EE1). The tie was added in EE2, probably on the basis of a comparison with GE1.

FE1 overlooked the accidentals before the 2nd L.H. crotchet. The patent mistake was corrected in FE2 (→EE).

Separate slurs in A, contextual interpretation

Continuous slur in #KC (→GE) & FE (→EE)
..

In these and subsequent bars (see the note to b. 47-48) we encounter similar problems concerning the interpretation of phrase marks and slurs to the ones in b. 4-5 and subsequent, since the discussed bars are merely marked as a repetition of b. 4-5 in the manuscripts. Like before, in the main text we give a contextual interpretation of the phrase marks and slurs of A.
