b. 284-285

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Missing from EE and FE is the bass clef restoring the bass register within the system after the treble clef on the lower stave (the last bar to which the treble clef applies is bar 283). However, the structure of the figuration in bar 286 and its graphic layout make the misreading of the text in this and the following bars practically impossible. In GC, bar 284 opens a new page and the bass clef is written there at the beginning of the line. In GE, the bass clef was added at the end of the line, in bar 284.

b. 293

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

d2 in EE and FE

b1 in GC (→GE)
..

In GC, the 3rd quaver of the L.H. sounds as b1. At the same time we can see in the manuscript that it was corrected from a1. Taking into consideration the regularity of figuration in all the analogous places, it is hard not to treat the version of GC (→GE) as anything more than an error. Cf. the note to bar 294.

b. 294

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

a1 in EE, FE & GE

g1 in GC
..

GC has g1as the 1st quaver in the L.H. This is probably an error, corrected already in GE.

b. 296

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

 GC has the flat before the chord placed at the height of d1. We can come across similar inaccuracies in Chopin's own manuscripts as well. GE has the correct text that is evident from the context.

In FE2 the topmost note of the chord was arbitrarily changed from f1 to g1.
