b. 531

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 

e1 in GC (→GE)

..

In GC (→GE) the first quaver is e1. Consistent versions of EE and FE as well as the further shape of the passage indicate high probability of the copyist's error.

b. 532-539

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In the LH part in GC the lack base clefs in bars 533 and 539. These obvious errors were corrected in GE. In EE one of the clefs was erroneously placed at the end of b. 532 instead of b. 533. In FE there is no clef nevessary for bars 533, 537 and 539.

Inaccurate pedalling in EE

No markings in GC (→GE)

Three pedal changes in FE

..

Pedalling marks in EE in bars 548 and 552 as well as  in b. 553 - must be incomplete. It is possible that they were incorrect or unclear already in [A1], which may have triggered their complete omission in GC (→GE). The pedalling marks may have been omitted by the copyist as well (cf. annotation to bars 259-265) as in GC the whole line of bars 547-554 lacks them.

b. 553

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In GC the fourth quaver is erroneously notated as e. Out of two theoretically plausible corrections - to e or f - the second seems more probable based on the corresponding figures in b. 557 and further. All doubts are dispelled by the EE and FE f here. Also in GE the wrong note was corrected to f.

in EE, GC & FE

a in GE

..

In EE, GC and FE the fourth quaver is notated as a. The presence of 'a' notes as the ones comprising the chords in the previous and following bars indicates erroneous omissions of sharps by Chopin. And so the spot was corrected in GE accordingly.
