The version of FE is almost certainly erroneous, in spite of the fact that it was proofread; originally, in FE this bar was identical to the next one, yet it was only the 3rd note that was corrected, perhaps due to misunderstanding Chopin's proof entry or due to an incomplete implementation of the proofreading. EE repeated the version of FE from before proofreading, which, unless it is an extraordinary coincidence, means that it was a change introduced in the last phase of proofreading. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE , Partial corrections |

In the main text we give a mark, written by Chopin in FC (→GE1) in b. 239-240, of which the discussed bars are a repetition. In GE2 (→GE3) the mark was extended so that it fills two bars (from b. 690) after the authentic sign in analogous b. 107-108. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

Due to the reasons discussed in b. 240 (the discussed bar is an exact repetition thereof), we consider the version of GE2 (→GE3) to be an acceptable variant. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

In the main text we give the indication cresc. - - - written by Chopin in FC (see the note to b. 65-66) The composer added crescendo in this fragment also in the proofreading of FE (→EE); however, he began it a bar later. That version, most probably later, can be considered equivalent. GE1 reproduced the indication of FC inaccurately, since from b. 697 it overlooked the dashes marking the range of cresc. That oversight was corrected in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of FC |

b. 696
|
composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor
..
Chopin began adding pedalling marks in the proofreading of FE (→EE) in b. 697, the first bar that does not belong to the main part of this theme, repeated without changes after b. 197-245, and in the final section identical also to b. 109-113. Therefore, there are no doubts that he regarded the pedalling written for the first time, including in b. 113, as valid also here, in b. 696. We consider the missing pedalling in this and in the next bars in FC (→GE) to be an oversight of the composer, who omitted the entire final fragment of the piece, after the abridged fragment encompassing b. 632-695, while adding indications in the copy. category imprint: Editorial revisions |
