b. 562

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In FE at the end of this bar there is additional mark. It is with most certainty a mistake, however, it is difficult to unequivocally determine what the correct text would look like. Since the notation of the remaining sources leaves no doubts and is consistent, we adopt it for the main text.

b. 563-564

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 &  in EE

No markings in GC (→GE) & FE
..

Additional change of the pedal in EE is most probably authentic. However, for the main text we adopt the consistent GC and FE version, as the two sources most probably based on Chopin's autograph.

..

In FE no  mark at the end of ther bar must be an error as the mark is present in all the other sources.
