b. 556

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Arpeggio signs in A (→FEEE) & GE2 (→GE3)

No signs in FC (→GE1)

..

The missing arpeggios must be an oversight of the copyist in FC (→GE1), corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 557-558

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Slurs in EE & GC (→GE)

Slur in FE

..

Both slurring variants are almost certainly authentic and musically justified. The EE and GC (→GE) version seems more informative - it suggests both overall continuity and uniformity of the phrase of bars 542-567 as well as marks the beginning of of the last decisive phrase of crescendo. Therefore, we present it in the main text, even though thef FE version may be the later one.

b. 557

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No signs in A (→FC,FE)

Continuous arpeggio in EE

Simultaneous arpeggios in GE

..

Chopin must have overlooked the arpeggio signs, which is indicated by the arpeggios in analogous b. 553, 555 and 559. The composer overlooked the signs after changing to a new page of A. The arpeggios were already added in GE and EE (in EE continuous, like before).

b. 557-560

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

2 L.H. slurs in A (→FCGE)

No slurs in FE

Slur in bars 559-560 in EE

..

The missing L.H. slurs in b. 557-558 and 559-560 is most probably an oversight of the engraver of FE. The presence of the latter in EE indicates a revision or a mistake.

b. 558-560

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

Slurs in FE (→EE)

Ties in GE

..

In the main text, we give the notation of FE (→EE) with motivic slurs, combining pairs of lower middle notes of chords, d1-c1 and c1-b. However, one cannot exclude that the engraver of FE misinterpreted the notation of [A], in which those slurs were ties of the bottommost notes (b and a, respectively), like the upper ties of the topmost notes. Therefore, it would be the notation of GE that would correspond to Chopin's intention.
