b. 475

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No f in EE

f in GC (→GE) & FE

..

No f in EE may be the earlier original version or omission. Cf. b. 447.

b. 476-477

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No tie in EE & GE

B tied in GC & FE

..

No tied in EE seems to have been overlooked. The GC notation is imprecise - at the end of b. 476 (the last one one the page) there is no tie, but it appears in b. 477. However, in GE the tie was not included.

Pedalling in GC

..

We present the pedalling of GC (rewritten with an error in GE), as it is difficult to imagine that Chopin omitted it purposefully while preparing FE or the basis for EE

Slurs in GC, literal reading

GC, contextual interpretation

Slur in GE

..

Consistent slurs in EE and FE must be authentic, they correspond to articulation and pianistic mini-gestures. A visible correction of the slur in GC proves the copyist's allertness at this moment but it may have been made by Chopin himself. Therefore, we give precedence to GC as it resonates with the energy of the motif that echoes the ending of the just sounded chorale phrase. It is difficult to determine why this correction was not included in GE. Similarly to the previous bars, in GE the slur in RH was repeated in the LH part.

b. 481-483

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 
..

The beginning of slur in GC may be disputable. Regardless of all possible interpretations of the autograph's notation copied by Gutmann, we adopt the reading which is in its graphic form closest to the manuscript as well as in line with the notation of all corresponding bars. In GE the slur's beginning was read differently; the remaining editions present this version.
