b. 246-249

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No markings in A

 &  in FC

in GE1

in bar 246 in FE (→EE)

 & - - -  in GE2 (→GE3)

 & - - - , our alternative suggestion
..

Chopin added  in b. 246 in the proofreading of FE, thus confirming such a position of the indication: see the note to analogous b. 114-117. On the other hand, the marks written by Chopin in FC are also consistent, and in the case of  in b. 249, visibly supported by a critical look at the final result of additions: Chopin crossed out the previously written  there. In the main text we give the indications of FC, which are a part of a numerous set of indications encompassing the entire theme, which ends here. As an alternative solution we also suggest, next to the version of FE, adding dashes leading cresc. to  in b. 249 in FC, as written by Chopin in analogous b. 109-116. The missing  indication may be a mistake of GE1, whereas the version of GE2 (→GE3) was entirely repeated after FC in b. 114-117 (cf. b. 235-238).

b. 246-249

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE) and GE3

Shorter slur in GE2
..

The shorter slur in GE2 is most probably a mistake by the engraver. It was corrected in GE3.

b. 246

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Semiquavers after AsI

Dotted rhythm in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)
..

As was the case with a few other places in this tutti, the semiquavers in AsI are the initial version, present in this manuscript in the orchestral part too. Cf. bars 242 and 244 and 247-251.

b. 246

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In the 2nd half of the bar there are no accidentals in A and FE. Three flats overlooked by Chopin were being added in the remaining editions – in GE1 two were added, to g and g2, while in EE – to g2 and g1. The fully correct text is present only in GE2.
