composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In EEGC and FE there is no  raising ato a2. The accidental was added in GE, which must have been done by the reviser.

b. 347

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In EE and GC there is no bass clef at the end of the bar. Given that both editions are the same, we may suspect Chopin to have made this mistake in [A1]. Since the chords of RH in b. 348 are notated on two staves, lack of the clef does not pose any problems for text interpretation (in EE b. 348 is printed as the new line of the text with the right clef at the beginning, which minimises the consequences of this omission). The clef was supplemented in GE

b. 377-378

Beginning of the slur in EE & GC (→GE)

Our suggestion

..

Given the apparently inaccurate notation of sources we suggest a slur based on a corresponding phrasing in bars 117-118.

Slur in EE

Contextual interpretation of GC (→GE), and FE

..

In GC the slur extends as far as b. 445, which in this context must be considered inaccurate the same as in GE. This too long and imprecise slur may have occured already in [A1] as EE has a slur that results most probably from misinterpreting the composer's intention. In the main text we present slurring of FE and GE.
