In A Chopin wrote and crossed out 4 pairs of   dynamic hairpins. Each of the marks was more or less 2 bars long. If the crossing-out was related to the addition of the leggiero indication, it would be a trace proving the change of concept of this fragment from a casually virtuoso one to a more delicate one, which would not disturb the lyrical, intimate mood of the previous C minor section.

In GE, FESB and EE bar 335 opens a new line, which caused the distortion of the slurs ending on the 1st quaver in this bar. In the graphic transcription we reproduce the versions of these editions without changes, whereas in the content transcription (version 'edited text') we give their most likely (according to us) interpretation. In the main text we reproduce the unequivocal notation of A and FE (the notation of FE could have resulted from Chopin's intervention in the copy of GE1 serving him as the basis, since on the basis of the notation of GE it is difficult to guess the correct version, and neither the reviser of EE nor the reviser of FESB succeeded at it).

b. 335

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In FE  augmenting e to e is indispensable. In other sources it is only a cautionary marking after e1 in the previous bar (it is not there in EE). Similarly in FE  augmenting c1 to c1. As a cautionary accidental it is only used in EE.
