b. 497

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

There is no accidental before the upper note of the 2nd octave in the L.H. in FE. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE.

b. 497

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

​​​​​​​in FE (→EE)

No sign in GE
..

The missing ​​​​​​​ hairpin is probably an oversight of the engraver of GE.

b. 497

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before f2. In analogous b. 493 the accidental is present in A and all the remaining sources. Moreover, Chopin probably hesitated in that respect, since the crossing-out visible there probably concerns the  before that note, which means that it must have been entered twice.

b. 497-498

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur in bar 497 in A (→FC,FE→EE)

Slur to bar 498 in GE
..

The slur of A (→FC,FE→EE) must be inaccurate, which is proven by:

  • a comparison with almost all analogous motifs in this section (except for b. 507-508);
  • the traces of prolonging the slurs, visible in A, initially also encompassing only 2 crotchets – cf. b. 495-496, 501-502, 503-504 and 513-514).

There is a similar situation in b. 507-508.

b. 498-501

Dashes in A & GE2

No dashes in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

GE1 (→FE→Ee) overlooked the dashes marking the range of the dynamic change. Similarly in bars 507-509 (and in many other places).
