L. van Beethoven   Op 59  No. 2 - Movement 2 Notes/Comments

Changes are relative to the Breitkopf & Haertelin (B&H) score
grk 6 Feb 2003

Note: I came across a term in this score that I did not recogize 
      and is not in my references. I looked up the term and 
      include the definition here:
      Mancando - a directive to perform a certain passage of a 
                 composition with decreasing volume, or for the 
                 volume to grow quieter, and die away. 
       (www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary/textm/Mancando.html)

Bar 4 - V2 - Should beat 4 be a rest ? (Same question as bar 55)
Bar 10 - V1 - Last two 1/16th notes should be staccato to be
              consistent.
Bar 29 - Va - Should the third and fourth 1/4 notes be ties ?
              Left un-tied.
Bar 32 - Vc - Should the third and fourth 1/4 notes be ties ?
              Left un-tied.
Bar 33 - 
Bar 48 - V1 - B&H Score indicates that first 3 beats are slurred 
              and last 2 beats are slurred (slurs cross over). 
              Changed to first 2 beats slurred and last 2 beats 
              slurred - this is consistent with later usage.
Bar 55 - Va - Should beat 4 be a rest ? (Same question as bar 4)
Bar 56 - V2 - The 1/2 notes should be slurred to be consistent with
              with Va and Vc
Bar 56/57 - Va - the last 1/2 note in bar 56 should be slurred 
              into bar 57 to be consistent.
Bar 62 - V1 - B&H slurring does not look right. First group of 
              three 1/8 notes slurred - second group, second 1/8
              note slurred into next bar - Changed to second group
              of 1/8 notes slurred (and not into next bar) - 
              same as V2
Bar 64,65,67 - V1 - Last triplet 1/8 note should be staccato
Bar 63-66 - Va - Note: The first two notes of the last triplet set 
                 in these bars are not tied or slurred. This is not
                 consistent with other parts throughout this section.
Bar 68 - V1 - last 1/8 note in first triplet group should be 
              staccato
Bar 70 - V2,Vc - Pattern assumed to be triplet 1/8 notes, 
                 1/8 note,1/8 rest  - repeat pattern
Bar 72 - Vc - Pattern assumed to be triplet 1/8 notes, 1/8 note
                 ,1/8 rest  - repeat pattern
Bar 73 - Vc - Pattern assumed to be triplet 1/8ths (rest, 1/8 note,
               1/8 note), 1/8 note,1/8 rest  - repeat pattern
Bar 79,80 - Va - First 1/4th Note should be staccato
Bar 84 - Vc - All notes in bar should be staccato
Bar 85 to 91 - Vc - B&H shows note pattern as 1/8 note tied to 
               1/16, 16 note - Earlier it was dotted 1/8 note 
               and 1/16  note. To be consistent with the usage 
               in earlier  measures, the dotted 1/8 note - 
               1/16 note pattern will be used.
Bar 86 - Vc - B&H shows last two note groups slurred - This is 
               not consistent useage - No slur will be used.
Bar 108 - Va - Last two 1/4 notes - should these be tied to be 
               consistent with Vc ? 
                No changes made (e.g. left separate)
Bar 112 - Vc - The notes in this bar should be staccato to 
               be consistent.
Bar 113 - Va,Vc - Mancando directive is shown for V1,V2,Va. Vc 
                  pattern is similar V1&V2, so it would seem that 
                  Vc should get the mancando directive, not Va. 
                  This would be consistent w/usage in bars 33-34. 
Bar 134 - Vc - All notes should be be staccato
Bar 145-146 - V2,Va - Should the triplets be staccato ? 
                       (No change made)
Bar 147 - V2 - Slur is shown as starting in bar 146 - The slur 
               should start in bar 147
Bar 148 - Va - The first two notes are shown as C natural and C 
               sharp and are tied. This pattern is not consistent
               with the other note/pitch useage, nor is it 
               consistent with the C Natural in V2 - 
               Change both to C Natural.
Bar 157 - Vc - This staff should also show the "hairpin" (cresc 
               then decresc) markings (like V1,V2 and Va).
