b. 573

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor
..
Indication to return to initial tempo was recreated differently in the sources. In GC there is tempo primo, and editions - different forms of conventional markings used in similar situations. We adopt similar solutions for the main text. category imprint: Source & stylistic information |

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor
..
In the main text we present the marking cresc. - - - after GC (→GE). In EE it is written out in syllables, which is a characteristic of this edition. in FE there is no marking - Chopin may have written [A2] hastily (cf. annotation to 573). category imprint: Differences between sources |

b. 606-620

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor
..
For the main text we adopt cresc. - - - based on GC (→GE). In EE it is divided into syllables (it is the common manner of EE) and extends further only to abruptly end without the last syllable "do" - in b. 615, which is the last on the page. The placement of the first two syllables in bars 606 i 613 suggests that the whole indication should extend as far as b. 620. In FE there is no marking at all, which is most probably Chopin's omission while writing hastily [A2] (cf. annotation to b. 373) category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE |

b. 637-644
|
composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor
..
The stretto indication was most precisely written out in GC, where we know exactly the scope of the notated dashes. Neither EE nor GE shows it with scu precision. In FE there is no indication at all. However, we believe that the scope indicated in GC was not really based on Chopin's intention as it would be virtually impossible to perform crotchets in bars 643-644. Therefore, assuming the notation of GC is imprecise, we suggest limiting the scope of stretto only to bars 637-642. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GC |
