b. 341-342

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In EE na GC there is no  augmenting to a in b. 342, which is obvious inaccuracy given  in the LH part. In GC there is no appropriate  in b. 341. FE and GE are correct.

b. 344

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Wedge in A (→FC,FE)

Dot in GE1 & EE

No mark in GE2 (→GE3)

..

The staccato mark in A, despite its smallness, is clearly prolonged (vertically). Both Fontana in FC and the engraver of FE regarded it as a wedge. GE1 and EE changed it to a dot, which can be considered acceptable, taking into account the fact that both passage E major sections feature only dots except for this place, including in analogous b. 438 & 446. GE2 (→GE3) did not include the mark, which could easily be considered an oversight if it were not for the dot in analogous  b. 446, which was also left out.

b. 345

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In EEGC and FE there is no  raising ato a2. The accidental was added in GE, which must have been done by the reviser.

b. 347

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In EE and GC there is no bass clef at the end of the bar. Given that both editions are the same, we may suspect Chopin to have made this mistake in [A1]. Since the chords of RH in b. 348 are notated on two staves, lack of the clef does not pose any problems for text interpretation (in EE b. 348 is printed as the new line of the text with the right clef at the beginning, which minimises the consequences of this omission). The clef was supplemented in GE

b. 355

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

Long accent in FE (→GE)

Short accent in EE

..

The mark over the 3rd beat may be interpreted as an accent – long in FE (→GE) and short in EE – or a short diminuendo hairpin. However, the latter is highly unlikely from the practical point of view, since after the previous , performing this motif    could easily deprive it of clarity. Due to this reason, we assume that the marks represent accents.
