b. 692-707

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No indication in A

cresc. - - in bars 692-707 in FC & GE2 (→GE3)

cresc. - - in bars 693-707 in FE (→EE)

cresc. - - in bars 692-696 in GE1
..

In the main text we give the indication cresc. - - - written by Chopin in FC (see the note to b. 65-66) The composer added crescendo in this fragment also in the proofreading of FE (→EE); however, he began it a bar later. That version, most probably later, can be considered equivalent. GE1 reproduced the indication of FC inaccurately, since from b. 697 it overlooked the dashes marking the range of cresc. That oversight was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
See also b. 708.

b. 697-707

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No markings in A (→FC→GE)

Pedalling in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we include the pedalling added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→EE). The composer overlooked only b. 699, probably inadvertently, to which we dedicate a separate note.

b. 708

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No indication in A

in FC (→GE)

Dashes in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we give the  indication entered by Chopin into FC (→GE). The dashes marking the range of cresc. are most probably a mistake of the engraver of FE (→EE), who led them to the end of the page instead of to the end of the phrase.
