b. 105-114

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No markings in A (→FC→GE1)

Pedalling in FE (→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)
..

In b. 105-106, 109 & 113-114 in the main text we give the pedalling added by Chopin in FE (→EE). In FC (→GE1) the entire final section of this theme (b. 105-116) is devoid of markings, which must be Chopin's oversight; it could have been provoked by the corrections in the L.H. part in b. 102-104: Chopin could have noticed a mistake there while adding pedalling; having corrected it, which required the erasure of 3 bars of accompaniment, he did not resume his previous activity. GE2 (→GE3) added markings on the basis of the pedalling written in FC in analog. b. 237-238, 241 & 245-246, which is totally compliant with the markings we suggest. See also the notes to b. 107-108, 110-112 & 115-116.

b. 105

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No mark in FE (→GE)

Staccato dot in EE
..

The staccato dot over the R.H. octave is an arbitrary addition of EE. According to us, this addition is not justified, since the L.H. octave has a double function:

  • it ends the octave sequence – without staccato, like the R.H. octave;
  • opens a new polonaise accompaniment formula – with dot, like in the next bars.

b. 105

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Arpeggio in GE

No mark in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we include the arpeggio visible in GE. The missing arpeggio in FE (→EE) could be explained by an oversight of the copyist or of the engraver; it could also have been entered into [A] after [FC] had already been finished (→FE).
