b. 109-113

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No indication in A

cresc. from bar 109 in FC (→GE)

cresc. from bar 110 in FE (→EE)

..

Chopin added a several-bar long crescendo both in FC (→GE) and in the proofreading of FE (→EE) (the latter started a bar later). In the main text we give the indication of FC, since it forms part of a much more detailed set of dynamic indications for the entire theme. The dashes marking the range of the crescendo are led in both groups of sources (except for GE1) to the  mark, which, however, falls on a different bar in each of the groups: see the note to b. 114-117.

b. 109

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

Long accent in AF, contextual interpretation

in FE (→EE)

Shifted short accent in GE1

Short accent in GE2

..

The accent in AF is quite short in this bar, hence it is its shape and context that make us consider it a long accent. The presence of a significantly longer mark in FE (→EE) – such as in analogous b. 17 – points to a possible intervention of a reviser or perhaps Chopin himself. A change performed on Chopin's order would confirm the mark to be a long accent. The mark in GE1 was placed inaccurately, so it is not entirely certain which beat of the bar it concerns.

b. 109

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

Wedge in AF

No mark in FE (→EE) & GE

..

In the main text we include the wedge written in AF. The mark is very long and distinct, hence it is difficult to overlook it. Its absence in FE (→EE) may result from a misunderstanding – the engraver could have interpreted it as a crossed-out dot. See also b. 115.

b. 109-110

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

Slur in AF & GE

No slur in FE (→EE)

..

Th lack of slur in FE (→EE) is undoubtedly the engraver's mistake. A similar mistake happened to Chopin in AF in b. 112.

b. 109

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No sign in GE

Arpeggio sign in FE (→EE)

..

In the main text we include the arpeggio present in FE2 and EE (in the copy of FE1 the page including this bar is missing). Its authenticity is highly likely – the mark is present before a chord of a similar span in an analogous place in b. 33. Cf. General Editorial Principlesp. 5a.
