b. 764-766

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In A there are visible corrections of the L.H. slurring: in b. 764 it was probably the slur over the 2nd and 3rd crotchets that was deleted, whereas the slur in b. 765-766 was shortened by deleting its ending, reaching the D-d octave.

No mark in sources

Staccato dot suggested by the editors

..

In the main text we suggest adding a staccato dot after analogous b. 766 and 768. The omission of that mark could have been influenced by the hesitation concerning the tempo marking of the fragment that begins here.

b. 764

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In A one can see traces of dilemmas concerning an indication – most probably related to the tempo – marking the performance manner of the next 8 bars. The deletions are quite careful, so we only managed to decipher the word sempre before the final piu mosso. The original indication could have been accellerando (with erroneous second 'l', like in a number of other works by Chopin, e.g. in the Impromptu in A Major, Op. 29, b. 25).

b. 765

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No slur in A (→FC,FEEE)

Slur in GE

..

The slur written in A over the R.H. motif was deleted together with the original version of the agogic indication. A comparison with analogous b. 767 and 769 (as well as 759 and 763) proves that leaving this bar without slur is Chopin's mistake. The slur was added only in GE.
