b. 249

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Staccato dots in A (→FC→GE)

No marks in FE (→EE)
..

The missing dots at the beginning of the bar (in both hands) is almost certainly an oversight of the engraver of FE (→EE).

b. 249-250

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur to f in A

No slur in FC

Slur to d1 in FE (→EE) & GE
..

When interpreted literally, the slur of A encompasses only the quavers. A comparison with the analogous figures proves Chopin's inaccuracy, corrected already in FE (→EE). The missing slur in FC must be an oversight of the copyist, corrected already in GE1 (→GE2→GE3).

b. 249-250

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we omit the reminder flats before a1 in the last chord of each of these bars.

b. 249

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Slur in A

No slur in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The shorter GE slur (→FE,EE,IE) – it ends in the preceding bar – most probably resulted from a misunderstanding of the A notation. See the note at the end of bar 248.

b. 249

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Wedge in A

No mark in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The absence of the wedge in GE (→FE,EE,IE) is most probably due to an oversight by the engraver of GE.
