Misc. Notes There is probably an additional editor to be credited who has corrected at least minor errors in the Bessel edition as the G-natural (instead of G♯) found in bar 4 of rehearsal C of the Prelude (and of course perhaps greater errors besides. Nothing more may have been involved than to remove the errors in Bessel's typesetting of Rimsky's own autograph, though it seems from a quick search in any case no one was credited with this work anycase...)
