b. 340-348

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

The crossings-out and additions visible in A in b. 340 & 348 allow us to reconstruct the original version of the passage in these bars: .

In the main text we suggest that the range of the  mark be compliant with Chopin's entries in all three analogous places (b. 348-349, 442-443, 450-451), since we are convinced that the mark having been shifted in this place is a standard inaccuracy of notation.

b. 340

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

b1-d2 in A & FESB

b1-d2 in AsI & GE (→FE,EE)
..

The version of A featuring b1 must be Chopin's mistake, which in this case could be explained by score-like thinking – in the voice of the 2nd clarinet implementing the bottom line of the semiquavers, a  restoring b is unnecessary. The accidental, present in AsI, was then added already in the stage of proofreading GE (→FE,EE), perhaps by Chopin. It is the engraver of FESB that is to blame for the absence of this accidental in this edition.

cresc. in GE (→FE,EE)
..

The omission of the  hairpin in GE (→FE,EE) must have been a decision of the engraver of GE1, who considered the Chopinesque combination of a  and cresc. an unnecessary complication. The same in bar 342.

Slur & staccato dot in A

Slur to c in GE (→FE,EE)

Slur to c in IE
..

We consider the A slur, led to the  preceding c, to be reaching this note. In GE (→FE,EE) it was led only to c. The fact that the interpretation of IE is compliant with ours must be an accident. The missing staccato dot is most probably an oversight by the engraver of GE (→FE,EE,IE).
