b. 375

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Short accent in EE

Long accent in GC & FE

 in GE

..

We believe that both the short accent in EE and hairoin in GE result from misunderstanding of the base text notation. In the main text we present a long accent based on GC and FE.

b. 377

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Short accent in EE

Long accent in GC & FE

No mark in GE

..

The short accent in EE, given the lack of a note to be accented, must an inaccuracy of notation as there is a long accent here in both GC and FE. Lack of accent in GE must be an element of revision based on an assumption that in GC the tie on g was omitted.

b. 383-384

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Long accent in EE

Hairpin in GC & FE

Hairpin in GE

..

It is hard to consider a longer mark in GE as an accurate copy of the GC notation (in any case, in bars 41-42 the same notation was read more accurately), while a long accent present in EE may exemplify Chopin's intentions. In the main text we present a version based on two consistent sources, GC and FE that most probably originated from the two autographs.

b. 388

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No marks in EE, GC & FE

Staccato dots in GE

..

The staccato dots in GE must have been added by the editor, however, they may most certainly be performed (compare authentic staccato marks in corresponding bars 31, 113 and 129).
