Despite the consistent graphic representation the GC slurring raises doubts as to the correct reading of Chopin's intentions. Even in this part in GE based on this manuscript, the GC slurs were never copied according to its notation (but slurs for LH were added)

Slurs in EE

FE and GE

..

In the main text we present consistent and logical slurring of FE (only at the beginning of b. 497 the slur's ending/extention from previous bars is missing). They are present in GE, despite different notation of GC, where the slurs in line-ending bars 496, 504 and 512 may actually suggest continuation (except b. 520) but for the lack of their completion at the beginning of bars 497, 505 and 513. EE has varied slurring: twice a three-bar slurs and twice two times longer.

In this part also - the last one of its kind in the passage of Scherzo - the beginning of slurs in GC raises doubts when it comes to intrerpreting Chopin's intentions. Already in GE, based on GC, the GC were never rewritten here in accordance with the noatation (while slurs for LH were added). In EE and FE the slurs always begin on quaver figurations (except for the obviously wrongly missing slur in EE in b. 521). In GC the endings of the discussed slurs are notated inaccurately: in bars 501, 509 and 517 the slurs end over the pause on the second beat of the bar.

In GC, the copyist omitted treble clef in this bar. This obvious mistake was corrected - penciled in - by the engraver or editor of GE.

In GC and FE1 there is no  lowering gto g2. This obvious mistake was corrected in GE and FE2. The accidental present in EE seems to be an editorial revision.
