Issues : Inaccuracies in FC
b. 495-515

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor
..
In the entire fragment (until b. 515) the accents under the R.H. bottom voice minims are of different length; they are also ambiguous in terms of their shape. As a result, determining whether Chopin meant a long or a short accent in a given bar is very problematic. We assume that they are long accents, since:
Similarly to b. 311-333, the remaining sources do not contain traces of Chopinesque intervention in this regard. The differences in the size of the marks in FC are minimal, so we assume – in accordance with GE – that they are short accents. Fontana overlooked the marks in b. 505 and 507, which was corrected in GE2 (→GE3). In FE we determine the length of the accents by comparing them with the undoubtedly short accents in the L.H. It results in short accents only in b. 501, 503 and 505. It is uncertain whether those differences were intended by the engraver, since the use of longer or shorter marks is neither musically consistent nor corresponding to the differences in A. In EE all accents are short except for b. 515, where the mark is clearly bigger. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , GE revisions , Errors of FC , Inaccuracies in FC |

According to us, the longer slur of FC is an inaccuracy of the copyist, hence in the main text we give the whole-bar slur of A. We consider the other possibility – the slur having been added in FC by Chopin – to be less likely (see, however, b. 531-536). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FC |

In A (→FC) there are no naturals before the crotchets ending the five-note groups (a2, a1 and a). Through a proof copy of FE, this mistake also found its way to EE1 (in FE the accidentals were added in the last phase of proofreading). The naturals are also present in GE and EE2 (→EE3). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Omission of current key accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , Inaccuracies in FC , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |
