b. 14

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No mark in EE, GC (→GE) & FE 

Wedge suggested by the editors
..

The presence of staccato signs in bars 6 and 18 indicates that in this bar they were accidentally omitted by Chopin.

b. 14

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 in EE, FE and GE2

No marking in GC (→GE1)
..

Absence of  in GC (→GE1) is probably the initial version of the markings in bars 1-20.

b. 14-15

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

The  lowering e1 to e flat 1 is missing from both bars in GC and FE1. This obvious inaccuracy was corrected in GE and  FE2. The flat occurring in EE in bar 15 may also be part of the reviser's corrections (bar 14 in EE has no relevant note).

b. 14

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No e1 in EE

e1 in GC (→GE) and FE
..

The absence of the note e1 in this chord in EE is definitely an error.

b. 14-16

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 in EE and FE

GC (→GE)
..

In GC (→GE) the hairpin mark  only begins in bar 15. In our main text we reproduce that mark as it appears in EE and FE, and also following analogous situations in bars 6-8 and 18-20.
