3 It does not help matters of clarity that the PDF of fragmentary sonatas follows a different pagination scheme as the Bärenreiter edition, whose music begins on p. 135. The PDF begins on p. 142.

4 It remains unclear why Schubert opted for mordents (Pralltriller) in bars 257–261 instead of the two-note appoggiatura found everywhere else in the first movement of the Sonata in A minor, D845, since Anschauer's evidence (see xxxi–xxxii) suggests that they are identical in practice.

5 This edition references digital copies of several relevant sources that can be viewed through the portal, https://links.baerenreiter.com/referenz.php. Unfortunately, none of the provided inputs (ex. ‘BA09643-0012’) worked for me.

6 All of the special comments appear as ‘Bemerkungen’ in the Gesamtausgabe's critical commentary, although not all of the Gesamtausgabe's ‘Bemerkungen’ appear as special comments. The Bärenreiter edition also lacks the detailed lists of corrections that the Gesamtausgabe provides for the principal sources of D784, D840, and D850. Critical commentary on the fragmentary sonatas contained in the PDF only appears in the Gesamtausgabe.
