Title: Editing error in Variations for Piano, op. 27
Review: Track 18, the first movement of the Variations for Piano, op. 27, has an editing mistake. The four-beat phrase at measure 39 to m. 40/beat 1 in the score (1:11-1:13 in track 18) repeats literally at 1:14-1:16 in the recording. This repetition does not occur in the score, where m. 40/beat 3 through m. 41 are the retrograde of mm. 39 to m. 40, beat 1.For those interested in the Symphony, op. 21, I recommend the CD reissue of Herbert von Karajan's 1974 recording with the Berlin Philharmonic on DGG.
