Issues : Errors of FC

b. 548-551

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

4 accents in A & GE2 (→GE3)

3 accents in FC

No marks in FE (→EE) & GE1

..

Four accents under the bass octaves were not reproduced in such a form in any of the remaining sources. While GE2 (→GE3) contains all accents, they are placed above the octaves, which is a revision of the text of GE1 on the basis of a comparison with FC and unification by analogy (an accent was added in b. 551, which is absent in FC).

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. 573-576

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No marks in FC (→GE)

..

A missing accent at the beginning of each of these 4 bars may be an oversight of Fontana. According to us, it is, however, more likely that Chopin added the accents in A after FC had already been prepared.

b. 756-760

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

2 staccato dots in A (→FEEE) & GE2

No marks in GE1

1 dot in GE3

..

The missing staccato dot in b. 756 in FC (→GE1) is most probably an oversight. It was also the dot in b. 760 that was overlooked in GE1, which, most probably, is also an oversight. By adding both dots, the reviser of GE2 correctly guessed Chopin's intention. In turn, the origin of the version of GE3 is puzzling, since there is no acceptable reason to remove the dot in b. 760. Consequently, it is either an erroneous revision or a misprint.
