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.

a 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.

No accidentals in EE, GC & FE

Naturals in GE

We add cautionary naturals before the a2-a3 octave. The accidentals were already added in GE.

c3-g3 in EE, FE & GE2

 c3-e3 in GC (→GE1) 
..

The c3-e3 third in GC (→GE1) is musically correct, however, c3-g3 in EE and FE seems more justifed pianistically and thus may suggest the copyist's error. And the unjustified  before the upper note of the dyed - before e3 - must certainly be  an error. It was rightly corrected in GE2, perhaps when compared with FE.
