Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : FE revisions

b. 392-393

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

f-f1 repeated in A (→FC→GE1)

Only f1 repeated in FE (→EE)

f-f1 tied in GE2 (→GE3)
..

A comparison with b. 266-267 and analog. (7 places in total) points to Chopin's patent mistake. Therefore, in the main text we include the ties added in GE2 (→GE3). The tie of f was added already in FE (→EE), which is probably a revision of the engraver, who added the missing tie in the chord on the bottom stave as part of his routine activities (such routine additions are evidenced in the Mazurka in D Major, Op. 33 No. 3, b. 8-9 and 24-25).

b. 415-416

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

3 long accents in A & FE

2  & > in GE1

3 short accents in EE & GE2
..

Three clearly long accents written in A were reproduced in GE1, without any apparent reason, in an explicitly varied manner. However, FE restored the notation of A, which could be seen as Chopin's proofreading. Both in EE and GE2 the Chopinesque long accents were reproduced as common short accents.

b. 497

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In GC and FE1 there is no  lowering g2 to g2. This obvious mistake was corrected in GE and FE2. The accidental present in EE seems to be an editorial revision.

b. 507-508

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur in bar 507 A (→FC)

Slur to bar 508 in FE (→EE) & GE
..

Just like in b. 497-498, the slur of A (→FC) must be inaccurate.
