b. 138-147

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

w A (→FC,FEEE)

in GE

..

In GE the extended hairpins in b. 138-139 and 146-147 are inaccuracies; they could have resulted from general assumptions concerning the range of such markings.

b. 138-140

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

Continuous slur in AI & AF (→FEEE)

Separate slurs in GE

..

In both preserved autographs the slur is led to the end of b. 140. The version of GE, in which each of b. 139-140 is provided with a separate slur, most probably corresponds to the notation of [AG], and we give it in the main text as probably being the latest.

3-note chords in AF (→FEEE) & GE

The version of AI is original and most probably connected to the original version – except for the top voice – of the R.H. part.

Overlapping slurs in A, probable interpretation

Continuous slur in FE (→GE,EE)

..

In A, the slur at the end of b. 137, which ends the line, clearly indicates that it should be continued, yet in b. 138 a new slur begins. This very frequent inaccuracy was interpreted by FE (→GE,EE) as a continuous slur. In the main text we suggest a different solution, since in b. 138 a new theme of the Ballade begins.

b. 138-140

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In A, there is no  restoring b2 in b. 138 and in the next two, which are marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of this bar. The mistake, typical of Chopin, was corrected by FE (→GE,EE), probably at Chopin's request. There is a similar situation in b. 142-144.
