b. 376-377

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Differences in placement of  - between the beginning of b. 376 in FE and b. 377 in EE - are mostly accidental and have no impact on performance. Our proposal presented in the main text seems to be the best for practical reasons.

No meno mosso in FE does not seem to be the engravers omission. However, it is hard to imagine bars 448-493 to be performed in a different tempo than b. 155 and the following, this indication seems necessary here. And so, for the main thext we adopt the EE and GC (→GE) edition.

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.

In FE the  mark in bars 169 and 177 must have been left out. Cf. annotation in bars 159-183.
