Issues : Inaccuracies in GE

b. 703-704

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Separate slurs in A (contextual interpretation→FC) & GE3

Continuous slur in A (possible interpretation→FEEE) & GE1 (→GE2)

..

It is not entirely clear in A whether the slur in b. 704, which opens a new line, is to be considered a continuation of the preceding one, as it was understood in FE (→EE), or the beginning of a new one, as it was most probably reproduced by Fontana – in FC the slur at the end of b. 703 does not suggest a continuation. Therefore, the continuous slur of GE1 (→GE2) must be considered an inaccuracy, corrected in GE3.

b. 725-731

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Dashes in A (→FC) & GE2 (→GE3)

No dashes in FE (→EE) & GE1

..

The missing dashes marking the range of cresc. are an inaccuracy of FE (→EE) and GE1. Omission of such dashes is a quite frequent discretion of Chopinesque first editions.

b. 776-778

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Long accents in A (→FC,FE)

Short accents in GE & EE

..

The accents in b. 776 and 778 in A are clearly longer than the 3 previous ones, which was not reproduced in EE and GE. Moreover, EE in b. 778 and GE2 (→GE3) in both bars assigned separate accents to each of the hands.
