Talk:Choral Fantasy, Op. 80 (Ludwig van Beethoven)

CPDL editions #7322 and #20 have been compared. The comparison is limited to note pitches and durations; lyrics are not comparable. Any difference found has been then cross-checked with the Breitkopf & Härtel edition, 1862-1890, available at IMSLP (B&H hereafter), and considered as the reference edition. The following differences have been identified:

Soprano I, bar 21: the second note is C in #7322 and in B&H, B in #20

Soprano II, bar 27: the first note is A in #7322 and in B&H, C in #20

Alto, bar 29: the last note (higher note of a chord) is F in #7322 and in B&H, E in #20

Alto, bar 170: the only note is D in #7322 and in B&H, A in #20
