b. 117-118

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No tie in EE & FE

Tied G in GC (→GE)
..

A missing tie sustaining G sharp in EE and FE is probably an oversight - cf. analogous bars 35-36 and 377-378.

b. 117

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No mark in EE and FE

Possible reading of the accent in GC

Probably long accent in GC (→GE)
..

Only GC (→GE) has the accent mark, which makes it even more difficult to determine the type of accent intended by Chopin. We assume that a long accent was meant here, as was used in analogous bar 35.

b. 120

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

e1 in EE, GC & FE

d1 in GE
..

The minim in the highest voice is not very legible in  GC (it was probably corrected from d sharp1 to e1), so in GE it was misread as d sharp1 .

b. 122

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Missing in GC and FE are the naturals cancelling the sharping of e to e sharp before the last crotchet of the bar, which is an obvious error. EE and GE have the correct version, consistent with the analogous bars 40 and 382.

b. 123

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No sign in EE and FE

 in GC (→GE)
..

The authenticity of the hairpin  in GC (→GE) is doubtless, yet it is hard to determine what caused the difference between the sources (omission of the mark in one pair of sources or adding it in the other are the two possible options).
