b. 309

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No mark in FE (→EE)

Staccato dot in FE

..

The missing staccato dot in FE (→EE) is probably an oversight of the engraver, hence we add it in the main text. The reviser of GE also added a dot.

b. 309-314

No slurs in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Slurs in bars 309-311 in GE3

Our suggestion

..

In this place, the absence of slurs must be considered Chopin's oversight. In the main text, we suggest slurs modelled after analogous bars 81-86. Slurs were added also in GE3, which took as an example its own slurring in bars 81-83 (the slur in the next bars was not added). See also bars 312-313.

b. 309

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In A one can see that the last two crotchets in the bar were initially provided with stems pointing down. The change emphasised their affiliation to the top voice, despite the fact that the bottom one had not yet begun. It was only after that correction that Chopin changed the slurring concept.

b. 309-311

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

The deletions in A show the formation process of the slurring concept of this theme. Chopin started from the slurs encompassing only two crotchets in b. 309 and 311 (the slur in b. 309, led under the notes, suggests that he could have meant slurs reaching the 1st note of the next bar). However, eventually, he wrote a three-bar phrase marks. See also the note below.

b. 309

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Staccato dot in A

No mark in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

..

The oversight of the staccato dot by the sources based directly on A is justified, to a certain extent, since the small sign is placed not only above the note, but also above the ending of the slur, so that one could have easily overlooked it. The fact that Chopin almost certainly meant a dot in this place is proven by analogous b. 411, in which a more distinct mark was noticed by the copyist.
