b. 397

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Dotted minim g in A (→FC) & EE

Minim g in FE & GE

The dotted g minim is the original version, left in A (→FC) most probably by inadvertence. The version of FE is probably a mistake, while of GE and EE – revisions.

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

f2 in chord in A & GE2

No f2 in chord in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Providing a note that is neither a climax or a turning point or that is not rhythmically emphasised at all (e.g. a strong beat of the bar, syncopation) with a ​​​​​​​ mark is unheard of in Chopin's music. Therefore, one may assume a wrongly assigned indication (to a wrong note). A natural candidate for a note that Chopin probably wanted to underline is d​​​​​​​​​​​​​​2, which is a turning point of the melody and which is rhythmically separated by the breath that follows it. Due to this reason, we suggest moving  one note behind, which would correct a possible inaccuracy.
