b. 124

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

FC3 (→FEIE), EE, GE

..

In all sources except A there is no accent on the first beat of the bar in the notation.

Separate slurs in FC (literal reading) & FE (→EE)

Continuous slur in GE

..

In FC the slur in bar 134, the last in the line, suggests that it should be continued, which is not confirmed by the slur beginning in bar 135 from the 1st note. We assume that they are separated slurs, as in FE (→EE), whereas in GE they were interpreted as a continuous slur.

b. 137-169

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

2 wedges & 2 dots in A

4 wedges in FC

4 times 2 dots in GE

..

In the main text we give the staccato markings in b. 137, 145, 161 and 169 on the basis of the homogenous notation of FC. The alternating wedges and dots in A indicate Chopin's inaccuracy: the unquestionable wedge in b. 161, along with the notation of A in b. 5-37, make us consider the wedges to be probably intended. The omission of the markings in FE (→EE) must be a mistake, whereas the double dots in GE – a revision (there is no top dot in b. 169 in GE2, which is a patent oversight).

b. 160

..

In all the sources except FC3 the chord on the second beat is written out as a crotchet with a quaver rest. In FC3 there are a rest and augmentation dot but only on the upper note of the chord.

b. 178-180

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

from bar 178 in FC (→GE) & EE

..

An earlier start of the  hairpin is most probably an inaccuracy: of the copyist in FC (→GE) and – independently – of the engraver in EE. Cf. analogous b. 629-631.
