b. 48

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  to c3 and omit the unnecessarily repeated  to b2, the penultimate semiquaver in the 1st half of the bar. We do not include the  to f3 either, the penultimate semiquaver in the bar, added in GE (→FE,EE,FESB).

Slur to b. 49 in A (→GE→FE,EE)

Slur in b. 48 in FESB
..

Shortening of the slur in FESB was probably the engraver's mistake.

b. 49-51

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In A the bottom notes of the B1-B octave in b. 49-50 and the B1-B octave in b. 51 are devoid of accidentals. They were already added in GE1 and repeated in the remaining editions.
