b. 209

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No mark in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE)

Short accent in GE2 (→GE3)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we add a long accent after the authentic marks in analogous b. 69 & 77 and b. 201. The addition was also performed in GE2 (→GE3), in the form of a short accent.

b. 209

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

A is missing the  raising g2 to g2. The patent inaccuracy was corrected both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE). It is difficult to say conclusively who entered the  into FC, Chopin or Fontana. In turn, a diagonal cross, in pencil, visible in this place in A means that the missing mark was already noticed by the engraver of FE, as long as the mark comes from the time the Scherzo was published.

b. 209

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

 simultaneously with chord in FE (→GE1,EE)

after chord in GE2 (→GE3)
..

Just like in b. 65, of which the discussed bar is a literal repetition, the shift of the  mark in GE2 (→GE3) is an arbitrary revision. See b. 25.

b. 209-221

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  to g1 in bar 209 and analog. (213, 217 and 221).

b. 209

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

No  in FE (→GE,EE)

[] suggested by editors
..

The missing  in the sources could be an oversight, although such isolated  marks can often be found in Chopin's pieces, especially at the end, but not exclusively. In the main text we suggest adding [] to keep the performer from an earlier pedal release, which could be contrary to Chopin's intention, considering the crescendo.
