composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

It is hard to determine whether the lack of  in FE was Chopin's omission or it was this edition's error, cf. b. 469.

b. 460

a in EE

b in GC (→GE) & FE

Notation with cautionary naturals
..

The variant in EE is most probably an earlier version of this chord (cf. corresponding situation in b. 210). In the main text we present the version of GC (→GE) and FE, supplemented by cautionary naturals before h and h1.

b. 460

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No c1 in EE & GC (→GE)

c1 in FE
..

The more complete chords of FE correspond with b. 210. For the main text we adopt EE and GC (→GE), where Chopin skilfully reduces the performance volume of the chords in their middle register.                                                                            

In EE, f in the quaver chord was mistakenly written out in the RH part.
