b. 35-36

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

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

Our suggestion

..

Differences between the sources seem to result here from inaccuracy of notation, or even from somewhat imprecise notation of Chopin himself. For that reason we propose a slur modelled after the phrasing in analogous bars 117-118. See also bars 377-381.

b. 49

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

EE has a short accent here. As the remaining sources clearly have long accents, the notation of the English edition must probably be inaccurate.

b. 91-96

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Accents in EE

..

The sources have different types of accents used in those bars, and those accents are also placed differently. In our main text we have the version of GC that unifies those differences. It may also be considered as an interpretation of the notation of FE and EE. The version of EE is probably inaccurate.

b. 97

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

There are slight differences between particular sources as regards the scope of the hairpin mark , yet they are probably unintended. We give the version of GC and FE. In GE the mark extends further, reaching the chord in bar 98, and in EE it begins later, under the 2nd crotchet of bar 97.

b. 132-140

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In both bars in EE the fifth a sharp-e1 is not separated fromthe entire chord. This may be either a simplified version of the manuscript or the result of its misunderstanding by the engraver.
